Jesus

But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

whereunto he called you through our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as alsoit iswith you;

But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and guard you from the evil one.

And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command.

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which they received of us.

Now them that are such we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope;

unto Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

I thank him that enabled me, even Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he counted me faithful, appointing me to his service;

and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief:

howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me as chief might Jesus Christ show forth all his longsuffering, for an ensample of them that should thereafter believe on him unto eternal life.

This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus,

who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times;

whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

For they that have served well as deacons gain to themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

If thou put the brethren in mind of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which thou hast followed until now:

For to this end we labor and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of them that believe.

But younger widows refuse: for when they have waxed wanton against Christ, they desire to marry;
