Who

Instead, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, not in order to please men but God, who examines our hearts.

You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous, and blameless our conduct was among you who believed.

…encouraging you, comforting you, and urging you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.

And we continually thank God because, when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God, which is also now at work in you who believe.

…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?

…not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God;

Anyone, then, who rejects this command does not reject man but God, the very One who gives you His Holy Spirit.

Anyone, then, who rejects this command does not reject man but God, the very One who gives you His Holy Spirit.

Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope.

Brothers, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who are without hope.

For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.

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.

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 those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

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

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

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

The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.

After all, it is only right for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

…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.

…on the day He comes to be glorified in His saints and regarded with wonder by all who have believed, including you who have believed our testimony.

…on the day He comes to be glorified in His saints and regarded with wonder by all who have believed, including you who have believed our testimony.

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way.

…and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them.

…in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.

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.

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,

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who leads an undisciplined life that is not in keeping with the tradition you received from us.

Take note of anyone who does not obey the instructions we have given in this letter. Do not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.

…for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave traders and liars and perjurers, and for anyone else who is averse to sound teaching

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, that He considered me faithful and appointed me to service.

But for this very reason I was shown mercy, so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His perfect patience as an example to those who would believe in Him for eternal life.

…who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

…who gave Himself as a ransom for all—the testimony that was given at just the right time.

…but with good deeds, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.

And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.

And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman who was deceived and fell into transgression.

For those who have served well as deacons acquire for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

They will prohibit marriage and require abstinence from certain foods that God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

To this end we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of everyone, and especially of those who believe.

Pay close attention to your life and to your teaching. Persevere in these things, for by so doing you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

Honor the widows who are truly widows.

The widow who is truly in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day in her petitions and prayers.

But she who lives for pleasure is dead even while she is still alive.

If any believing woman has dependent widows, she must assist them and not allow the church to be burdened, so that it can help the widows who are truly in need.

Elders who lead effectively are worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.

Elders who lead effectively are worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.

But those who persist in sin should be rebuked in front of everyone, so that the others will stand in fear of sin.

All who are under the yoke of slavery should regard their masters as fully worthy of honor, so that God’s name and our teaching will not be discredited.

Those who have believing masters should not show disrespect because they are brothers, but should serve them all the more, since those receiving their good service are beloved believers. Teach and encourage these principles.

…and constant friction between men of depraved mind who are devoid of the truth. These men regard godliness as a means of gain.

Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.

I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who made the good confession in His testimony before Pontius Pilate:

I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who made the good confession in His testimony before Pontius Pilate:

Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be conceited and not to put their hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in God, who richly provides all things for us to enjoy.

Instruct those who are rich in the present age not to be conceited and not to put their hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in God, who richly provides all things for us to enjoy.

And now He has revealed this grace through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has abolished death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the gospel,

Guard the treasure entrusted to you, with the help of the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

And the things that you have heard me say among many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be qualified to teach others as well.

A soldier refrains from entangling himself in civilian affairs, in order to please the one who enlisted him.

Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.

…who have deviated from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already occurred, and they undermine the faith of some.

Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.”

Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.”

Flee from youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, together with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

He must gently reprove those who oppose him, in the hope that God may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.

Then they will come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to his will.

They are the kind who worm their way into households and captivate vulnerable women who are weighed down with sins and led astray by various passions,

They are the kind who worm their way into households and captivate vulnerable women who are weighed down with sins and led astray by various passions,

…who are always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.

Indeed, all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,

I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom:

From now on there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but to all who crave His appearing.

…in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.

An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, having children who are believers and who are not open to accusation of indiscretion or insubordination.

An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, having children who are believers and who are not open to accusation of indiscretion or insubordination.

He must hold firmly to the faithful word as it was taught, so that he can encourage others by sound teaching and refute those who contradict it.

…who must be silenced. For the sake of dishonorable gain, they undermine entire households and teach things they should not.

…and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of men who have rejected the truth.

…and wholesome speech that is above reproach, so that anyone who opposes us will be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.

This saying is trustworthy. And I want you to emphasize these things, so that those who have believed God will take care to devote themselves to good deeds. These things are excellent and profitable for the people.

All who are with me send you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with all of you.

All who are with me send you greetings. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with all of you.

I am sending back to you him who is my very heart.

Are not the angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?

…how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

For both the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.

For both the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.

Now since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil,

…and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.

Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.

He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.

For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
