For God has not called us to live in sin. He has called us to live a holy life.

The one who turns away from this teaching does not turn away from man, but from God. It is God Who has given us His Holy Spirit.

You do not need anyone to write to you about loving your Christian brothers. God has taught you to love each other.

We believe that Jesus died and then came to life again. Because we believe this, we know that God will bring to life again all those who belong to Jesus.

God planned to save us from the punishment of sin through our Lord Jesus Christ. He did not plan for us to suffer from His anger.

In everything give thanks. This is what God wants you to do because of Christ Jesus.

Do not laugh at those who speak for God.

May the God of peace set you apart for Himself. May every part of you be set apart for God. May your spirit and your soul and your body be kept complete. May you be without blame when our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.

This letter is from Paul and Silas and Timothy. It is to the church in the city of Thessalonica that belongs to God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

May you have loving-favor and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We must give thanks to God for you always, Christian brothers. It is the right thing to do because your faith is growing so much. Your love for each other is stronger all the time.

God wants you to prove yourselves to be worth being in His holy nation by suffering for Him.

He will punish those who do not know God and those who do not obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For this reason, we always pray for you. We pray that our God will make you worth being chosen. We pray that His power will help you do the good things you want to do. We pray that your work of faith will be complete.

In this way, the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be honored by you and you will be honored by Him. It is through the loving-favor of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Do not let anyone fool you. For the Lord will not come again until many people turn away from God. Then the leader of those who break the law will come. He is the man of sin.

He works against and puts himself above every kind of god that is worshiped. He will take his seat in the house of God and say that he himself is God.

For this reason, God will allow them to follow false teaching so they will believe a lie.

They will all be guilty as they stand before God because they wanted to do what was wrong.

Christian brothers, the Lord loves you. We always thank God for you. It is because God has chosen you from the beginning to save you from the punishment of sin. He chose to make you holy by the Holy Spirit and to give you faith to believe the truth.
