Book 53 2 Thessalonians 001:001 Paul, Silas, and Timothy: To the
Church of the Thessalonians which is in God our Father and the Lord
Jesus Christ. 001:002 May grace and peace be granted to you from God
our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 001:003 Unceasing thanks are
due from us to God on your behalf, brethren. They are appropriate
because your faith is growing greatly, and the love of every one of you
for all the others goes on increasing. 001:004 It so increases that we
ourselves make honourable mention of you among the Churches of
God because of your patience and faith amid all your persecutions and
amid the afflictions which you are enduring. 001:005 For these are a
plain token of God's righteous judgement, which has in view your
being deemed worthy of admission to God's Kingdom, for the sake of
which, indeed, you are sufferers. 001:006 A plain token of God's
righteous judgement, I say, since it is a righteous thing for Him to
requite with affliction those who are now afflicting you; 001:007 and to
requite with rest you who are suffering affliction now-- rest with us at
the re-appearing of the Lord Jesus from Heaven, attended by His
mighty angels. 001:008 He will come in flames of fire to take
vengeance on those who have no knowledge of God, and do not obey
the Good News as to Jesus, our Lord. 001:009 They will pay the
penalty of eternal destruction, being banished from the presence of the
Lord and from His glorious majesty, 001:010 when He comes on that
day to be glorified in His people and to be wondered at among all who
have believed, including you-- because you believed the testimony
which we brought for your acceptance. 001:011 It is with this view also
that we continually pray to our God for you, asking that He will count
you worthy of His call, and by His mighty power fully gratify your

every desire for what is truly good and make your work of faith
complete; 001:012 in order that the name of our Lord Jesus may be
glorified in you, and that you may be glorified in Him--so wonderful is
the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ! 002:001 But with
respect to the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered
to meet Him, we entreat you, brethren, 002:002 not readily to become
unsettled in mind or troubled-- either by any pretended spiritual
revelation or by any message or letter claiming to have been sent by
us--through fancying that the day of the Lord is now here. 002:003 Let
no one in any way deceive you, for that day cannot come without the
coming of the apostasy first, and the appearing of the man of sin, the
son of perdition, who sets himself against, 002:004 and exalts himself
above, every so-called `god' or object of worship, and goes the length
of taking his seat in the very temple of God, giving it out that he
himself is God. 002:005 Do you not remember that while I was still
with you I used to tell you all this? 002:006 And now you know what
restrains him, in order that his true character may be revealed at his
appointed time. 002:007 For lawlessness is already at work in secret;
but only until the man who is now exercising a restraining influence is
removed,
