2 Thessalonians1
1Sha’ul [desired], and Silvanus (Silas) [woody], and Timothy [honoring God], unto the church of the Thessalonians [victory of falsity] in God-The Father our Father and the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah]:2Grace unto you, and peace, from God-The Father our Father and the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah].3We are bound to thank God-The Father always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith grows exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other abounds;4So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God-The Father for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you2f endure:5[Which is] a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God-The Father, that you2f may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God-The Father, for which you2f also suffer (allow, to let, permit):6Seeing [it is] a righteous thing with God-The Father to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;7And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God-The Father, and that obey not the Gospel (joyful message) of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah]:9Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord - Kurios, and from the glory of his power;10When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.11For what reason also we pray always for you, that our God-The Father would count you worthy of [this] calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of [his] goodness, and the work of faith with power:12That the name of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] may be glorified in you, and you2f in him, according to the grace of our God-The Father and the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah].1Now we beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], and [by] our gathering together unto him,2That you2f be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by Spirit [Ruach], nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Moshiach [Messiah] is at hand.3Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;4Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God-The Father, or that is worshipped; so that he as God-The Father sits in the temple of God-The Father, showing himself that he is God-The Father.5Remember you2f not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?6And now you2f know what withholds that he might be revealed in his time.7For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now lets [will let], until he be taken out of the way.8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord - Kurios shall consume with the Spirit [Ruach] of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:9[Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan [the adversary] with all power and signs and lying wonders,10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.11And for this cause God-The Father shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:12That they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.13But we are bound to give thanks always to God-The Father for you, brethren beloved of the Lord - Kurios, because God-The Father has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit [Ruach] and belief of the truth:14Whereunto he called you by our Gospel (joyful message), to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah].15Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which you2f have been taught, whether by word, or our Epistle (important or formal letter).16Now our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] himself, and God-The Father, even our Father, which has loved us, and has given [us] everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,17Comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.1Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord - Kurios may have [free] course, and be glorified, even as [it is] with you:2And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all [men] have not faith.3But the Lord - Kurios is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep [you] from evil.4And we have confidence in the Lord - Kurios touching you, that you2f both do and will do the things which we command you.5And the Lord - Kurios direct your hearts into the love of God-The Father, and into the patient waiting for Moshiach [Messiah].6Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], that you2f withdraw yourselves from every brother that walks disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.7For yourselves know how you2f ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;8Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nothing; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:9Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an example unto you to follow us.10For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.11For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.12Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.13But you2f, brethren, be not weary in well doing.14And if any man obey not our word by this Epistle (important or formal letter), note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.15Yet count [him] not as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother.16Now the Lord - Kurios of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord - Kurios [be] with you all.17The Greeting of Sha’ul [desired] with my own hand, which is the token in every Epistle (important or formal letter): so I write.18The grace of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] [be] with you all. Amen. <The second Epistle (important or formal letter) to the Thessalonians [victory of falsity] was written from Athens [uncertainty].>
