Except, before God to abundantly offer supplication, night and day, to see your faces, and to complete that which is lacking in your faith?

Now may God, our Father, and our LORD Jesus Christ, direct our journey unto you,

And may he strengthen your hearts to be without blemish in holiness before God our Father, at the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ with all his saints.

FROM this time then, my brethren, we beseech you and entreat you earnestly by our LORD Jesus, that as you have been taught by us how you ought to live and to please God, so you will increase more and more.

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication:

And not through the passion of lust, even as the rest of the Gentiles who know not God:

For God has not called you unto uncleanness but unto holiness.

Therefore, he who does an injustice, does not wrong man but God who has also given unto you his Holy Spirit.

For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our LORD Jesus Christ,

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Jesus Christ concerning you.

May the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved without blemish to the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ.

PAUL, and Sil-va''nus, and Ti-mo''theus, unto the Church of the Thes-salo''ni- ans in God our Father and our LORD Jesus Christ:

Grace be with you, and peace, from God our Father, and from our LORD Jesus Christ.

We are bound to give thanks to God always for you, my brethren, as it is appropriate to do, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of all of you for one another increases;

So that even we ourselves boast of you in the churches of God over your faith and patience in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure;

As an example of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be made worthy of his kingdom, for which you also suffer.

And if it seems a righteous thing, before the presence of God, he will recompense tribulation to those who oppress you;
