For if we believe that Jeshu died and arose, so also Aloha those who have slept in Jeshu will bring with him.

For our Lord himself with the mandate, and with the voice of the chief of angels, and with the trumpet of Aloha, will come down from heaven, and the dead who are in the Meshiha will arise first;

for you truly know that the day of our Lord as a thief in the night so cometh.

For all of you are sons of light, and sons of the day; and are not sons of the night, nor sons of darkness.

For they who sleep, in the night sleep; and they who are drunken, in the night are drunken.

For Aloha hath not appointed us to wrath, but to the possession of salvation in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha,

And beware, lest any of you evil render for evil; but always follow after (those things which are) good (pl.) toward one another, and toward every man.

and in every thing give thanks; for this is the will of Aloha in Jeshu Meshiha concerning you.

My brethren, pray for us.

5 for a demonstration of the just judgment of Aloha, that you may be [fn] worthy of his kingdom, for the sake of which you suffer;

For these in the judgment will be punished (with) the perdition of eternity, from the presence of our Lord, and from the glory of his power;

On account of this at all time pray we for you, that Aloha may make you meet for your calling, and complete in you all the will of good (things), and the operations of faith with power;

For the mystery of iniquity already beginneth to be effective; only if that which now holdeth be taken from the midst,

For the coming of that (wicked one) is the working of Satana, with all power, and (with) signs and false miracles,

But we are bound to give thanks unto Aloha at all time for you, our brethren, beloved in our Lord, because Aloha hath chosen you from the beginning unto salvation, by sanctification of the Spirit, and by the belief of the truth.

For unto these Aloha called you by our preaching, that you should be the glory of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.

Henceforth, my brethren, pray for us, that the word of our Lord may run and be glorified in every place, as among you.

And that we may be delivered from wicked men and perverse; for every man hath not faith.

For you know how it behoveth to imitate us who walked not wickedly among you.

Neither did we eat bread for nothing from any one of you; but with labour and weariness by night and by day we wrought, that upon no one of you we might be burdensome.
