2 Thessalonians 3:16  1 Timothy 1:20

16 Now the Lord of apeace Himself give you 1bpeace continually in every way. The Lord be cwith you all.

17 The greeting in amy own hand — Paul — which is the mark in every letter; so I write.

18 The 1agrace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

 

CHAPTER 1

1 1Paul, an aapostle of Christ Jesus baccording to the 2ccommand of 3dGod our Savior and of Christ Jesus our 4ehope,

2 To 1aTimothy, genuine bchild in 2faith: Grace, cmercy, peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 Even as I exhorted you, when I was 1going into aMacedonia, to remain in bEphesus in order that you might charge 2certain ones not to teach 3cdifferent things

4 Nor to give heed to 1amyths and unending 2bgenealogies, which produce cquestionings rather than God’s 3deconomy, which is in 4efaith.

5 But the end of the 1charge is 2alove out of a 3bpure heart and out of a good cconscience and out of unfeigned dfaith;

6 From which things some, having 1amisaimed, have turned aside to 2bvain talking,

7 Desiring to be 1ateachers of the law, though they understand neither the things that they say, nor concerning what they 2bconfidently affirm.

8 But we know that the alaw is good, if one uses it lawfully

9 And knows this, that the alaw is not enacted for a righteous man but for the lawless and bunruly, for the cungodly and sinners, for the dunholy and eprofane, for those who 1strike their fathers and those who 1strike their mothers, for murderers,

10 For fornicators, ahomosexuals, kidnappers, liars, perjurers, and whatever other thing that is opposed to the 1bhealthy teaching,

11 aAccording to the 1bgospel of the glory of the cblessed God, with which I was dentrusted.

12 I give thanks to Him who 1aempowers me, Christ Jesus our Lord, that He has counted me bfaithful, cappointing me to the dministry,

13 Who formerly was a 1blasphemer and a apersecutor and an 2insulting person; but I was shown 3bmercy because, being 4cignorant, I acted in 4dunbelief.

14 And the 1agrace of our Lord bsuperabounded with 2cfaith and love in Christ Jesus.

15 aFaithful is the word and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus 1came into the world to save bsinners, of whom I am foremost.

16 But because of this I was shown amercy, that in me, the foremost, Jesus Christ might display all His long-suffering for a 1pattern to those who are to bbelieve on Him unto 2ceternal life.

17 1Now to the aKing of the ages, bincorruptible, cinvisible, the donly God, be 2ehonor and fglory for ever and ever. Amen.

18 This 1acharge I commit to you, my bchild Timothy, according to the 2cprophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you might 3dwar the good warfare,

19 aHolding 1bfaith and a good cconscience, concerning which some, thrusting these away, have become 2shipwrecked regarding the 3dfaith;

20 Of whom are 1aHymenaeus and 2bAlexander, whom I have cdelivered to Satan that they may be 3disciplined not to dblaspheme.

2 Thessalonians 2:9  2 Thessalonians 3:15

9 The coming of whom is 1according to Satan’s operation in all apower and bsigns and wonders of a 2lie

10 And in all deceit of unrighteousness among those who are aperishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved.

11 And 1because of this God asends to them an operation of error that they might believe the blie,

12 So that all who have not believed the atruth but have taken 1pleasure in unrighteousness might be judged.

13 But we ought to athank God always concerning you, brothers bbeloved of the Lord, because God 1cchose you 2from the dbeginning unto esalvation in 3fsanctification of the Spirit and 4belief of the gtruth,

14 To 1which also He acalled you through our bgospel unto the obtaining of the 2cglory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 So then, brothers, astand firm and hold to the 1bthings which were handed down to you and which you were taught, whether by word or by our letter.

16 Now our 1Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has aloved us and given us 2eternal comfort and 3good bhope in 4grace,

17 Comfort your hearts and aestablish you in every good work and word.

CHAPTER 3

1 Finally, brothers, apray concerning us, that the word of the Lord may brun and be 1glorified, even as it is also 2with you;

2 And that we may be adelivered from unreasonable and evil men, for the bfaith does not belong to all.

3 But the Lord is afaithful, who will 1bestablish you and 2guard you from the cevil one.

4 And we have aconfidence in the Lord concerning you that what we 1bcharge, you both are doing and will do.

5 And the Lord 1adirect your bhearts 2into the 3clove of God and 4into the 5endurance of Christ.

6 Now we charge you, brothers, in the aname of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you bkeep away from every brother 1walking cdisorderly and not according to the 2dthings which were handed down to you and which you received from us.

7 For you yourselves know how you ought to aimitate us, because we were 1not disorderly among you;

8 Nor did we eat bread as a gift from anyone, but in alabor and hardship we bworked night and day so that we would not be cburdensome to any of you;

9 Not because we do not have the aright, but in order that we might give ourselves to you as a bpattern that you might cimitate us.

10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this acharge, that if anyone does not want to work, neither should he beat.

11 For we hear of some walking among you adisorderly, doing no work at all, but being 1bbusybodies.

12 Now such ones we acharge and bexhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to cwork with dquietness and eeat their own bread.

13 But you, brothers, do not alose heart in doing good.

14 And if anyone does anot obey our word through this letter, mark this one so as 1bnot to mingle with him, in order that he may be ashamed.

15 Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but aadmonish him as a brother.

2 Thessalonians 1:1  2 Thessalonians 2:8

1 aPaul and Silvanus and Timothy to the 1church of the 2Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 We ought to athank God always concerning you, brothers, even as it is fitting, because your 1bfaith grows exceedingly and the love of each one of you all to one another is increasing,

4 So that we ourselves aboast in you among the churches of God concerning your 1endurance and faith in all your bpersecutions and the afflictions which you bear,

5 A plain aindication of the 1righteous judgment of God, that you may be accounted bworthy of the 2ckingdom of God, for which also you suffer;

6 Since it is just with God to repay with affliction those afflicting you,

7 And to you who are being afflicted, 1rest with us at the arevelation of the Lord Jesus from bheaven with the cangels of His power, in flaming dfire,

8 Rendering vengeance to those who do anot know God and to those who do not bobey the gospel of our Lord Jesus 1Christ.

9 They will pay the penalty of eternal adestruction from the 1presence of the Lord and from the bglory of His strength

10 When He acomes to be 1bglorified in His saints and to be marveled at in all those who have believed (because our ctestimony to you was believed) in dthat day.

11 For which also we apray always concerning you, that our God may count you bworthy of your calling and may fulfill in cpower your every 1good intention for goodness and your dwork of faith,

12 So that the aname of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the 1grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

CHAPTER 2

1 Now we ask you, brothers, 1with regard to the 2acoming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our bgathering together 3to Him,

2 That you be not quickly shaken 1in mind nor alarmed, neither by a 2aspirit nor by word nor by a letter as if by us, to the effect that the 3day of the Lord has come.

3 Let no one 1deceive you in any way, because it will not come unless the 2aapostasy comes first and the 3man of blawlessness is revealed, the cson of dperdition,

4 Who opposes and 1aexalts himself above all that is called bGod or an object of worship, so that he csits in the 2dtemple of God, setting himself forth, saying that ehe is God.

5 Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I said these things to you?

6 And now you know that which 1restrains, so that he might be revealed in his own 2time.

7 For it is the 1mystery of alawlessness that is now operating, but only until the one now restraining 2goes out of the way.

8 And then the alawless one will be revealed (whom the Lord Jesus will 1slay by the 2bbreath of His cmouth and dbring to nothing by the 3manifestation of His 4ecoming),
