Jesus

But we ought to giue thankes alway to God for you, brethren beloued of the Lord, because that God hath from the beginning chosen you to saluation, through sanctification of the Spirit, and the faith of trueth,

Whereunto he called you by our Gospel, to obtaine the glory of our Lord Iesus Christ.

Now the same Iesus Christ our Lord; and our God euen the Father which hath loued vs, and hath giuen vs euerlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

Furthermore, brethren, pray for vs, that the worde of the Lord may haue free passage and be glorified, euen as it is with you,

But the Lord is faithfull, which wil stablish you, and keepe you from euill.

And we are perswaded of you through the Lord, that ye both doe, and will doe the things which we warne you of.

And the Lord guide your hearts to the loue of God, and the waiting for of Christ.

We warne you, brethren, in the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, that ye withdrawe your selues from euery brother that walketh inordinately, and not after the instruction, which hee receiued of vs.

Therefore them that are such, we warne and exhort by our Lord Iesus Christ, that they worke with quietnes, and eate their owne bread.

Now the Lord himselfe of peace giue you peace alwayes by all meanes. The Lord be with you all.

The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you all, Amen. The second Epistle to the Thessalonians, written from Athens.

Pavl an Apostle of Iesvs Christ, by the commandement of God our Sauiour, and of our Lord Iesus Christ our hope,

Vnto Timotheus my naturall sonne in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and from Christ Iesus our Lord.

Therefore I thanke him, which hath made me strong, that is, Christ Iesus our Lord: for he counted me faithfull, and put me in his seruice:

But the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and loue, which is in Christ Iesus.

This is a true saying, and by all meanes worthy to be receiued, that Christ Iesus came into the worlde to saue sinners, of whom I am chiefe.

Notwithstanding, for this cause was I receiued to mercie, that Iesus Christ should first shewe on me all long suffering vnto the ensample of them, which shall in time to come beleeue in him vnto eternall life.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Sauiour,

For there is one God, and one Mediatour betweene God and man, which is the man Christ Iesus,

Who gaue himselfe a ransome for all men, to be that testimonie in due time,

Whereunto I am ordeined a preacher and an Apostle (I speake the trueth in Christ, and lie not) euen a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and veritie.

For they that haue ministred well, get them selues a good degree, and great libertie in the faith, which is in Christ Iesus.

If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Iesus Christ, which hast bene nourished vp in the wordes of faith, and of good doctrine, which thou hast continually followed.

For therefore we labour and are rebuked, because we trust in the liuing God, which is the Sauiour of all men, specially of those that beleeue.

But refuse the yonger widowes: for when they haue begun to waxe wanton against Christ, they will marrie,
