What God wants is that you be holy, that you keep away from sexual immorality,

without giving in to lustful desires, like the pagans who don't know God.

For God did not call us to live an unclean life but a holy one.

Therefore, whoever rejects this teaching is rejecting not a man but God, indeed, the One who gives you the Ruach HaKodesh, which is his.

Concerning love for the brothers we do not need to write you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other;

do who have nothing to hope for. For since we believe that Yeshua died and rose again, we also believe that in the same way God, through Yeshua, will take with him those who have died.

For God has not intended that we should experience his fury, but that we should gain deliverance through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,

In everything give thanks, for this is what God wants from you who are united with the Messiah Yeshua.

May the God of shalom make you completely holy — may your entire spirit, soul and body be kept blameless for the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

From: Sha'ul, Sila and Timothy To: The Messianic Community of the Thessalonians, united with God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah:

Grace to you and shalom from God the Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

We have to keep thanking God for you always, brothers, as is appropriate; because your trust continues to grow greater, and the love you each have for one another continues to increase.

Therefore, we boast about you in the congregations of God because of your perseverance and trust in all the persecutions and troubles you are going through.

This is clear evidence that God's judgment is just; and as a result, you will be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God for which you are suffering.

For it is justice for God to pay back trouble to those who are troubling you,

in a fiery flame. Then he will punish those who don't know God, that is, those who don't listen to the Good News of our Lord Yeshua and obey it.

With this in view, we always pray for you that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill by his power every good purpose of yours and every action stemming from your trust.

In this way, the name of our Lord Yeshua will be glorified in you, and you in him, in accordance with the grace of our God and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

He will oppose himself to everything that people call a god or make an object of worship; he will put himself above them all, so that he will sit in the Temple of God and proclaim that he himself is God .

This is why God is causing them to go astray, so that they will believe the Lie.
