Jesus

All whatsoever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Wives, be subject to your husbands, as it behoveth in the Lord.

Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing to the Lord.

Whatsoever you do, do it from the heart, as to the Lord, and not to men:

Knowing that you shall receive of the Lord the reward of inheritance. Serve ye the Lord Christ.

Praying withal for us also, that God may open unto us a door of speech to speak the mystery of Christ (for which also I am bound):

All the things that concern me, Tychicus, our dearest brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord, will make known to you.

Epaphras saluteth you, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, who is always solicitous for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and full in all the will of God.

And say to Archippus: Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.

Paul and Sylvanus and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians: in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Being mindful of the work of your faith and labour and charity: and of the enduring of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ before God and our Father.

And you became followers of us and of the Lord: receiving the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Ghost:

For from you was spread abroad the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and in Achaia but also in every place: your faith which is towards God, is gone forth, so that we need not to speak any thing.

And to wait for his Son from heaven (whom he raised up from the dead), Jesus, who hath delivered us from the wrath to come.

Nor sought we glory of men, neither of you, nor of others.

For you, brethren, are become followers of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they have from the Jews:

Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and please not God, and are adversaries to all men;

For what is our hope or joy or crown of glory? Are not you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

And we sent Timothy, our brother and the minister of God in the gospel of Christ, to confirm you and exhort you concerning your faith:

Because now we live, if you stand in the Lord.

Now God himself and our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.

And may the Lord multiply you and make you abound in charity towards one another and towards all men: as we do also towards you,

To confirm your hearts without blame, in holiness, before God and our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his saints. Amen.

For the rest therefore, brethren, pray and beseech you in the Lord Jesus that, as you have received from us, how you ought to walk and to please God, so also you would walk, that you may abound the more.

For you know what precepts I have given to you by the Lord Jesus.
