Jesus

And we--we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, that God did choose you from the beginning to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth,

to which He did call you through our good news, to the acquiring of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ;

and may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who did love us, and did give comfort age-during, and good hope in grace,

As to the rest, pray ye, brethren, concerning us, that the word of the Lord may run and may be glorified, as also with you,

and stedfast is the Lord, who shall establish you, and shall guard you from the evil;

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

and the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to the endurance of the Christ.

And we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother disorderly walking, and not after the deliverance that ye received from us,

and such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness working, their own bread they may eat;

and may the Lord of the peace Himself give to you the peace always in every way; the Lord is with you all!

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

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to a command of God our Saviour, and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,

to Timotheus--genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness, peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord,

And I give thanks to him who enabled me--Christ Jesus our Lord--that he did reckon me stedfast, having put me to the ministration,

and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with faith and love that is in Christ Jesus:

stedfast is the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners--first of whom I am;

but because of this I found kindness, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern of those about to believe on him to life age-during:

for this is right and acceptable before God our Saviour,

for one is God, one also is mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,

who did give himself a ransom for all--the testimony in its own times--

in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle--truth I say in Christ, I do not lie--a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.

for those who did minister well a good step to themselves do acquire, and much boldness in faith that is in Christ Jesus.

These things placing before the brethren, thou shalt be a good ministrant of Jesus Christ, being nourished by the words of the faith, and of the good teaching, which thou didst follow after,

for for this we both labour and are reproached, because we hope on the living God, who is Saviour of all men--especially of those believing.

and younger widows be refusing, for when they may revel against the Christ, they wish to marry,
