to the establishing your hearts blameless in sanctification before our God and Father, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.

As to the rest, then, brethren, we request you, and call upon you in the Lord Jesus, as ye did receive from us how it behoveth you to walk and to please God, that ye may abound the more,

for this is the will of God -- your sanctification; that ye abstain from the whoredom,

not in the affection of desire, as also the nations that were not knowing God,

for God did not call us on uncleanness, but in sanctification;

he, therefore, who is despising -- doth not despise man, but God, who also did give His Holy Spirit to us.

And concerning the brotherly love, ye have no need of [my] writing to you, for ye yourselves are God-taught to love one another,

for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also God those asleep through Jesus he will bring with him,

because the Lord himself, in a shout, in the voice of a chief-messenger, and in the trump of God, shall come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall rise first,

because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

in every thing give thanks, for this [is] the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you.

and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:

Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ!

We ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because increase greatly doth your faith, and abound doth the love of each one of you all, to one another;

so that we ourselves do glory in you in the assemblies of God, for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye bear;

a token of the righteous judgment of God, for your being counted worthy of the reign of God, for which also ye suffer,

since [it is] a righteous thing with God to give back to those troubling you -- trouble,

in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those not knowing God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ;

for which also we do pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfil all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of the faith in power,
