CHAPTER THESSALONIANS 1
Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and
the Lord Jesus Christ:
2
Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3
We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith
groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
4
So
that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your
persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
5
Which is
a manifest token of the righteous judgment
of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
6
Seeing
it is
a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
7
And to you
who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty
angels,
8
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel
of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence
of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10
When he shall come to be glorified in his saints,
and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that
day.
11
Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of
this
calling,
and fulfil all the good pleasure of
his
goodness, and the work of faith with power:
12
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 the Lord Jesus Christ.
CHAPTER THESSALONIANS 2
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and
by
our gathering
together unto him,
2
That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by
word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3
Let no man deceive you by any
means: for
that day shall not come,
except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be
revealed, the son of perdition;
4
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God,
or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is
God.
5
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6
And now ye
know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7
For the mystery of iniquity doth
already work: only he who now letteth
will let,
until he be taken out of the way.
8
And then shall
that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall
destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9
Even him,
whose coming is after the working of Satan
with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in
them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11
And
for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12
That they all
might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
