So that we ourselves glory of you in the churches of God, for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and sufferings which ye endure:

A manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be accounted, worthy of the kingdom of God; for which also ye suffer.

Seeing it is a righteous thing with God, to recompence affliction to them that afflict you.

In flaming fire, taking vengeance on them who know not God, and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

To this end we pray always for you, that our God would make you worthy of this calling, and fulfill in you all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power;

That the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God as God, declaring himself that he is God.

And therefore God shall send them strong delusion, so that that they shall believe a lie,

But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to Salvation, thro' sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God even our Father, who hath loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope thro' grace,

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and the patience of Christ.

Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Saviour,

and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope, To Timotheus my own son in the faith, grace, mercy, peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I am instructed.

Now to the king of eternity, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever, Amen.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour,

For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men,

For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?

But if I tarry, that thou mayst know how to behave in the house of God, which is the church of the living God.

The mystery of godliness is the pillar and ground of the truth, and without controversy a great thing: God was manifested in the flesh, was justified by the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, taken up into glory.
