13
But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because
God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief
of the truth:
14
Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord
Jesus Christ.
15
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught,
whether by word, or our epistle.
16
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father,
which hath loved us, and hath given
us
everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17
Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
CHAPTER THESSALONIANS 3
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have
free
course, and be glorified,
even as
it is
with you:
2
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all
men
have not faith.
3
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep
you
from evil.
4
And
we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we
command you.
5
And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting
for Christ.
6
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw
yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received
of us.
7
For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly
among you;
8
Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail
night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
9
Not because we have not power,
but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
10
For even when we were with you, this
we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
11
For we hear that there
are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
12
Now them
that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and
eat their own bread.
13
But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
14
And if any man obey not
our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
15
Yet count
him
not as an enemy, but admonish
him
as a brother.
16
Now the Lord of peace himself
give you peace always by all means. The Lord
be
with you all.
17
The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.
18
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
be
with you all. Amen.
The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to
Timothy
