For this cause also thanke wee God without ceasing, because when yee receiued the word of God, which yee heard of vs, yee receiued it not as the word of men, but (as it is in trueth) the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that beleeue.

For yee, brethren, became followers of the Churches of God, which in Iudea are in Christ Iesus: for ye also haue suffered like things of your owne countreymen, euen as they haue of the Iewes:

Who both killed the Lord Iesus, and their owne Prophets, and haue persecuted vs: and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:

And sent Timotheus our brother and minister of God, and our fellow labourer in the Gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:

For what thankes can we render to God againe for you, for all the ioy wherewith wee ioy for your sakes before our God,

Now God himselfe and our Father, and our Lord Iesus Christ direct our way vnto you.

To the end hee may stablish your hearts vnblameable in holinesse before God euen our Father, at the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ with all his Saints.

Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Iesus, that as yee haue receiued of vs, how ye ought to walke, and to please God, so yee would abound more and more.

For this is the will of God, euen your sanctification, that yee should absteine from fornication:

Not in the lust of concupiscence, euen as the Gentiles which know not God:

For God hath not called vs vnto vncleannesse, but vnto holinesse.

He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also giuen vnto vs his holy Spirit.

But as touching brotherly loue, ye need not that I write vnto you: for yee your selues are taught of God to loue one an other.

For if we beleeue that Iesus died, and rose againe: euen so them also which sleepe in Iesus, will God bring with him.

For the Lord himselfe shall descend from heauen with a shout, with the voyce of the Archangel, and with the trumpe of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

For God hath not appointed vs to wrath: but to obtaine saluation by our Lord Iesus Christ,

In euery thing giue thankes: for this is the will of God in Christ Iesus concerning you.

And the very God of peace sanctifie you wholly: and I pray God your whole spirit, and soule, and body be preserued blamelesse vnto the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ.

Paul and Siluanus, and Timotheus vnto the Church of the Thessalonias, in God our Father, and the Lord Iesus Christ:

Grace vnto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lorde Iesus Christ.
