2 Thessalonians

2 Thessalonians 1

Endurance in Afflictions Paul, and Silas, and Timothy, to the assembly of Thessalonians, in God our father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Favor to you, and peace from God our father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
[2to give thanks 1We ought] to God at all times concerning you, brethren, as it is worthy, that [2is caused to grow exceedingly 1your belief], and [7is superabundant 1the 2love 4one 3of each 5of all 6of you] to one another;
so as for us ourselves [2in 3you 1to boast] in the assemblies of God over your endurance and belief in all your persecutions and the afflictions which you endure;
a demonstration of the righteous judgment of God, in the deeming you worthy of the kingdom of God, for of which also you suffer;
if indeed it be righteous by God to recompense the ones afflicting you with affliction;
and to you the ones being afflicted, a relaxation with us, in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with angels of his power,
in fire of flame, giving punishment to the ones not knowing God, and to the ones not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ;
ones who with punishment shall pay, [2ruin 1eternal] from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his strength;
whenever he should come to be glorified among his holy ones, and to be marveled at by all the ones having believed (because [4was believed 1our testimony 2to 3you]) in that day.
For which also we pray at all times for you, that you should be worthy of the calling of our God, and should fulfill every good-pleasure of goodness, and work of belief with power,
so that [6should be glorified 1the 2name 3of our Lord 4Jesus 5Christ] in you, and you in him, according to the favor of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Thessalonians 2

The Arrival of The Lord And we ask you, brethren, concerning the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our assembling together unto him,
for [2to not 3quickly 4be shaken 1you] of the mind, nor to be alarmed, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as by us, that [5is present 1the 2day 3of the 4Christ].
The Coming Defection Let not any completely deceive you in not one manner! for it will not be unless [3should come 1the 2defection] first, and [4should be uncovered 1the 2man 3of sin], the son of destruction,
the one being an adversary and elevating himself above all being called god or object of worship; so as for him [2in 3the 4temple 5of God 6as 7God 1to sit], exhibiting himself that he is God.
Do you not remember that still being with you, [2these things 1I said] to you?
And now the one constraining you know, for the uncovering him in his own time.
For the mystery [2already 3operates 1of lawlessness], only there is the one constraining just now until [2out of 3the midst 1he should be].
And then [3shall be uncovered 1the 2lawless one], whom the Lord shall consume by the breath of his mouth, and shall render [4useless 1the 2grandeur 3of his arrival];
whose [2is 1arrival] according to the energy of Satan in every power and signs and miracles of a lie,
and in every deception of unrighteousness among the ones being destroyed, because of the love of the truth they received not for them to be delivered.
And on account of this [2shall send forth 3to them 1God] an energy of delusion, for them to believe in the lie,
that [11should be judged 1all 2the ones 3not 4believing 5in the 6truth 7but 8taking pleasure 9in 10unrighteousness].
But we ought to give thanks to God at all times concerning you, brethren beloved by the Lord, that [2took you up 1God] from the beginning for deliverance in sanctification of spirit, and belief of truth,
in which he called you through our good news in procurement of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
So then, brethren, stand firmly and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word, or whether by our letter!
[5himself 1But 2our Lord 3Jesus 4Christ], and the God and our father, the one having loved us, and gave [2comfort 1eternal], and [2hope 1good] in favor,
may he comfort your hearts, and support you in every [2word 3and 4work 1good].

2 Thessalonians 3

Paul's Exhortation For the rest pray brethren, for us, that the word of the Lord should run and should be glorified, as also to you;
and that we should be rescued from the unnatural and wicked men; [4is not 1for 5of all 2the 3belief].
But trustworthy is the Lord, who will support you, and will guard you from the evil.
But we rely in the Lord as to you, that in which we exhort unto you, both you are doing and will do.
And may the Lord straighten out your hearts in the love of God, and in the endurance of the Christ.
And we exhort you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, for you to be in readiness from every brother [2disorderly 1walking], and not according to the tradition which he took to himself from us.
For you yourselves know how it is necessary to imitate us; for we have not acted disorderly among you;
nor freely [2bread 1did we eat] from anyone, but in toil and trouble, night and day, working so as to not overburden any of you.
Not that we do not have authority, but that [2ourselves 3as an impression 1we should give] to you for the imitating us.
For also when we were with you, we exhorted this unto you, that if any does not want to work, neither let him eat!
For we hear some are walking among you disorderly, not working, but intermeddling.
And to such we exhort and appeal by our Lord Jesus Christ, that [2with 3tranquility 1working], [2their own 3bread 1they should eat].
But you, brethren, you should not tire doing good.
And if anyone does not obey our word by this letter, signify and do not intermingle with him, that he should be ashamed!
but not as an enemy esteem him, but admonish him as a brother!
[6himself 1And 3the 4Lord 5of peace 2may] give to you peace continually in every manner. The Lord be with all of you.
The greeting by my hand, Paul, which is a sign in every letter; so I write.
The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you. Amen.
