Lord

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, who is forever worthy of praise, knows that I am not lying.

I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to gain, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord.

Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me.

This is why I write these things while absent, so that when I am present I will not need to be severe in my use of the authority that the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.

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

I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is troubling you will bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

But as for me, may I never boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.

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

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.

For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints,

…that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in your knowledge of Him.

In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord.

…according to the eternal purpose that He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.

As a prisoner in the Lord, then, I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received:

…one Lord, one faith, one baptism;

So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

Test and prove what pleases the Lord.

Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord,

…always giving thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Serve with good will, as to the Lord and not to men,

…because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.

Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything, so that you also may know about me and what I am doing.

Peace to the brothers and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.

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

And most of the brothers, confident in the Lord by my chains, now dare more greatly to speak the word without fear.

…and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I learn how you are doing.

And I trust in the Lord that I myself will come soon.

Welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor men like him,

Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you.

More than that, I count all things as loss compared to the surpassing excellence of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ

But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you must stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.

I urge Euodia and Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

Let your gentleness be apparent to all. The Lord is near.

Now I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you,

…so that you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,

Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in Him,

Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.

Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only to please them while they are watching, but with sincerity of heart and fear of the Lord.

Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, as for the Lord and not for men,

…because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

…because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a beloved brother, a faithful minister, and a fellow servant in the Lord.

Tell Archippus: “See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.”

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace and peace to you.

…and continually recalling before our God and Father your work of faith, your labor of love, and your enduring hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

And you became imitators of us and of the Lord when you welcomed the message with the joy of the Holy Spirit, in spite of your great suffering.

For not only did the message of the Lord ring out from you to Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone out to every place, so that we have no need to say anything more.

…who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets and drove us out as well. They are displeasing to God and hostile to all men,

After all, who is our hope, our joy, our crown of boasting, if it is not you yourselves in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?

For now we can go on living, as long as you are standing firm in the Lord.

Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you.

And may the Lord cause you to increase and overflow with love for one another and for everyone else, just as our love for you overflows,

…so that He may establish your hearts in blamelessness and holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. Amen.

Finally, brothers, we ask and encourage you in the Lord Jesus to live in a way that is pleasing to God, just as you have received from us. This is how you already live, so you should do so all the more.

For you know the instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

…and no one should ever violate or exploit his brother in this regard, because the Lord will avenge all such acts, as we have already told you and solemnly warned you.

By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep.

By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep.

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise.

After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.

After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.

For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

But we ask you, brothers, to acknowledge those who work diligently among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you.

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your entire spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

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

…and to grant relief to you who are oppressed and to us as well. This will take place when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels

…in blazing fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

They will suffer the penalty of eternal destruction, separated from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His might,

…so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

…so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to Him, we ask you, brothers,

…not to be easily disconcerted or alarmed by any spirit or message or letter seeming to be from us, alleging that the Day of the Lord has already come.

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and annihilate by the majesty of His arrival.

But we should always thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning to be saved by the sanctification of the Spirit and by faith in the truth.

To this He called you through our gospel, so that you may share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who by grace has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope,

Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread quickly and be held in honor, just as it was with you.

But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.

And we have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do what we command.

May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
