Will

Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand.

Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will boldly make known the mystery of the gospel,

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.

…being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

What then is the issue? Just this: that in every way, whether by false motives or true, Christ is preached. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,

…because I know that through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, my distress will turn out for my deliverance.

I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have complete boldness so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have complete boldness so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have complete boldness so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

But if I go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. So what shall I choose? I do not know.

Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,

Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,

…so that through my coming to you again your exultation in Christ Jesus will resound on account of me.

Nevertheless, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending together as one for the faith of the gospel,

For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good purpose.

I have nobody else like him who will genuinely care for your needs.

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

All of us who are mature should embrace this point of view. And if you think differently about some issue, God will reveal this to you as well.

…who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.

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

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

I say this so that no one will deceive you by smooth rhetoric.

These will all perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.

When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they will not become discouraged.

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

Whoever does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.

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

With him I am sending Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.

Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, so that you may stand mature and fully assured in the full will of God.

For it is God’s will that you should be holy: You must abstain from sexual immorality;

…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.

Then you will behave properly toward outsiders, without being dependent on anyone.

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.

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.

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.

While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

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

All this is clear evidence of God’s righteous judgment. And so you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering.

…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

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

To this end, we always pray for you, that our God will count you worthy of His calling, and that He will powerfully fulfill your every good desire and work of faith,

To this end, we always pray for you, that our God will count you worthy of His calling, and that He will powerfully fulfill your every good desire and work of faith,

…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.

Let no one deceive you in any way, for it will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness—the son of destruction—is revealed.

He will oppose and exalt himself above every so-called god or object of worship. So he will seat himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

He will oppose and exalt himself above every so-called god or object of worship. So he will seat himself in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

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 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.

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.

The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder,

For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie,

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.

Women, however, will be saved through childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

Furthermore, he must have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the snare of the devil.

…in case I am delayed, so that you will know how each one must conduct himself in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.

Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,

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.

By pointing out these things to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of faith and sound instruction that you have followed.

Be diligent in these matters and absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all.

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.

Give these instructions to the believers, so that they will be above reproach.

But refuse to enroll younger widows. For when their passions draw them away from Christ, they will want to marry,

…and thus will incur judgment because they are setting aside their first faith.

At the same time they will also learn to be idle, going from house to house and being not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, discussing things they should not mention.

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.

But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.

…which the blessed and only Sovereign One—the King of kings and Lord of lords—will bring about in His own time.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus,

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.

Consider what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all things.

This is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him;

…if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;

…if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;

But avoid irreverent, empty chatter, which will only lead to more ungodliness,

…and the talk of such men will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

So if anyone cleanses himself of what is unfit, he will be a vessel for honor: sanctified, useful to the Master, and prepared for every good work.

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

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

But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come.

For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

But they will not advance much further. For just like Jannes and Jambres, their folly will be plain to everyone.

But they will not advance much further. For just like Jannes and Jambres, their folly will be plain to everyone.

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:

For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires.
