Jesus

that no one go beyond and defraud in the matter his brother, because an avenger is the Lord of all these, as also we spake before to you and testified,

for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also God those asleep through Jesus he will bring with him,

for this to you we say in the word of the Lord, that we who are living--who do remain over to the presence of the Lord--may not precede those asleep,

because the Lord himself, in a shout, in the voice of a chief-messenger, and in the trump of God, shall come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall rise first,

then we who are living, who are remaining over, together with them shall be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in air, and so always with the Lord we shall be;

for yourselves have known thoroughly that the day of the Lord as a thief in the night doth so come,

because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

who did die for us, that whether we wake--whether we sleep--together with him we may live;

And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you,

in every thing give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you.

and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ;

stedfast is He who is calling you, who also will do it .

I charge you by the Lord, that the letter be read to all the holy brethren;

the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you! Amen.

Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:

Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

and to you who are troubled--rest with us in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with messengers of his power,

in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those not knowing God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ;

who shall suffer justice--destruction age-during--from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his strength,

when He may come to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all those believing--because our testimony was believed among you--in that day;

for which also we do pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfil all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of the faith in power,

that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.

And we ask you, brethren, in regard to the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together unto him,

that ye be not quickly shaken in mind, nor be troubled, neither through spirit, neither through word, neither through letters as through us, as that the day of Christ hath arrived;

and then shall be revealed the Lawless One, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the manifestation of his presence,
