1  Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ

2  Grace to you and peace from God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

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

3  We are obligated to give thanks to God always for you, brothers, [and ]rightfully so, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all increases towards one another,

3  We ought to give thanks always to God for you, brothers, in a fitting manner, because your faith is increasing greatly, and because the charity of each of you toward one another is abundant,

3  We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

4  so that we ourselves are boasting in you among the churches of God about your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure,

4  so much so that we ourselves even glory in you among the churches of God, because of your patience and faith in all of your persecutions and tribulations that you endure,

5  [which is] evidence of the righteous judgment of God, so that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, on behalf of which you also suffer;

5  which are a sign of the just judgment of God, so that you may be held worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer.

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

6  since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

6  For certainly, it is just for God to repay trouble to those who trouble you,

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

7  and to give you who are being afflicted rest along with us at the revelation of YHWH Jesus from heaven with His mighty angels,

7  and to repay you, who are being troubled, with a repose with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with the Angels of his virtue,

8  in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8  rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus

8  At which time he will avenge, with flaming fire, those who know not God, and those who do not acknowledge the gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ;

9  These shall pay a penalty-eternal destruction from the presence of YHWH and from the glory of His might,

9  who shall suffer punishment, [even] eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

9  For they, at the judgment day, shall be rewarded with everlasting destruction from the presence of our LORD, and from the glory of his power;

10  whenever He comes, in that Day, to be glorified among His saints and to be marveled among all those having believed, because our testimony among you was believed.

10  when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be marvelled at in all them that believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in that day.

10  When he comes to be glorified by his saints and to perform his wonders among his faithful ones, so that our testimony, concerning you, may be believed in that day.

11  Therefore we also pray always concerning you that our God may count you worthy of [this] calling, and may fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power,

11  To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfil every desire of goodness and [every] work of faith, with power;

11  Because of this, too, we pray always for you, so that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may complete every act of his goodness, as well as his work of faith in virtue,

12  in order that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and YHWH Jesus Christ.

2:1  Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we beseech you,

1  Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him;

1  But we ask you, brothers, concerning the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ and of our gathering to him,

2:2  not to be quickly shaken from your mind, nor be disturbed, neither by spirit nor by word nor by letter, as if from us, [as though] the day of Christ has come.

2  to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at hand;

2  that you not be readily disturbed or terrified in your minds, by any spirit, or word, or epistle, supposedly sent from us, claiming that the day of the Lord is close by.

2:3  Let no one deceive you by any means; for [that day will not come] unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is unveiled, the son of perdition,

3  let no man beguile you in any wise: for [it will not be,] except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,

2:4  who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or [every] object of worship, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

4  he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God.

4  who is an adversary to, and who is lifted up above, all that is called God or that is worshipped, so much so that he sits in the temple of God, presenting himself as if he were God.

2:5  Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?

5  Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

2:6  And now you know that which is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.

2:7  For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains [will continue ]until one arises from out of [the] midst.

7  For the mystery of iniquity is already at work. And only one now holds back, and will continue to hold back, until he is taken from our midst.

2:8  And then the lawless one will be unveiled, whom YHWH will consume with the breath of His mouth, and will destroy by the brightness of His coming,

8  And then that iniquitous one shall be revealed, the one whom the Lord Jesus shall bring to ruin with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy at the brightness of his return

8  Then shall the Wicked be exposed, that one whom our LORD Jesus shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the revelation of his coming

2:9  whose coming is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,

9  [even he], whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

9  him whose advent is accompanied by the works of Satan, with every kind of power and signs and false miracles,

2:10  and in all deception of unrighteousness among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

10  and with every seduction of iniquity, toward those who are perishing because they have not accepted the love of truth, so that they may be saved. For this reason, God will send to them works of deception, so that they may believe in lies,

10  And with all deceitfulness of unrighteousness in those who perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved thereby.

2:11  And because of this, God will send them strong delusion, in order for them to believe the lie,

11  And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie

11  in order that all those who have not believed in the truth, but who have consented to iniquity, may be judged.

2:12  so that they all might be damned who did not believe the truth, but delighted in unrighteousness.

12  that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

12  Yet we must always give thanks to God for you, brothers, beloved of God, because God has chosen you as first-fruits for salvation, by the sanctification of the Spirit and by faith in the truth.

2:13  But we are obligated to give thanks to God always for you, brothers beloved by YHWH, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation, through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth,

13  He has also called you into truth through our Gospel, unto the acquisition of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2:14  to which He called you through our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

14  And so, brothers, stand firm, and hold to the traditions that you have learned, whether by word or by our epistle.

14  And it is to these things that God called you by our preaching, to be the glory of our LORD Jesus Christ.

2:15  So then, brothers, stand fast and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our letter.

15  So may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who has loved us and who has given us an everlasting consolation and good hope in grace,

15  Henceforth, my brethren, stand fast, and hold to the commandments which you have been taught, either by word, or by our epistle.

2:16  Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and a good hope by grace,

16  Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

16  exhort your hearts and confirm you in every good word and deed.

2:17  comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

2Thes3:1  Concerning other things, brothers, pray for us, so that the Word of God may advance and be glorified, just as it is among you,

3:1  Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of YHWH may run and be glorified, just as [it is ]with you,

2Thes3:2  and so that we may be freed from pertinacious and evil men. For not everyone is faithful.

1  FINALLY, brethren, pray for us, that the word of our LORD may spread freely, and be glorified in every place even as it is among you

3:2  and that we may be delivered from evil and wicked men; for not all have faith.

2Thes3:3  But God is faithful. He will strengthen you, and he will guard you from evil.

3:3  But YHWH is faithful, who will establish you and will guard you from the evil one.

3  But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and guard you from the evil [one].

2Thes3:4  And we have confidence about you in the Lord, that you are doing, and will continue to do, just as we have instructed.

3:4  And we trust in YHWH concerning you, that the[ ]things which we command to you, you are both doing, and will do [them.]

2Thes3:5  And may the Lord direct your hearts, in the charity of God and with the patience of Christ.

4  We have confidence in you through our LORD, that the things we have commanded you to do, you have done and will continue to do.

3:5  Now may YHWH direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.

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

2Thes3:6  But we strongly caution you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to draw yourselves away from every brother who is walking in disorder and not according to the tradition that they received from us.

3:6  But we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother living in idleness, and not according to the tradition which they received from us.

2Thes3:7  For you yourselves know the manner in which you ought to imitate us. For we were not disorderly among you.

3:7  For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you;

7  For yourselves know how ye ought to imitate us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

2Thes3:8  Nor did we eat bread from anyone for free, but rather, we worked night and day, in hardship and weariness, so as not to be burdensome to you.

3:8  nor did we eat bread from anyone without paying, but in labor and hardship, working night and day, so as not to be a burden to any of you,

8  neither did we eat bread for nought at any man`s hand, but in labor and travail, working night and day, that we might not burden any of you

2Thes3:9  It was not as if we had no authority, but this was so that we might present ourselves as an example to you, in order to imitate us.

3:9  not because we do not have authority, but in order that we may give ourselves as a pattern to you, so that you might follow us.

2Thes3:10  Then, too, while we were with you, we insisted on this to you: that if anyone was not willing to work, neither should he eat.

9  Not because we did not have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you to follow us.

3:10  For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat!

2Thes3:11  For we have heard that there are some among you who act disruptively, not working at all, but eagerly meddling.

3:11  For we hear [that] some are walking among you in a disorderly way, not working at all, but being busybodies.

2Thes3:12  Now we charge those who act in this way, and we beg them in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they work in silence and eat their own bread.

3:12  And to such [people] we command and urge by our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.

12  Now them that are such we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

2Thes3:13  And you, brothers, do not grow weak in doing good.

3:13  But as for you, brothers, do not lose heart [in] doing good.

13  But ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing.

2Thes3:14  But if anyone does not obey our word by this epistle, take note of him and do not keep company with him, so that he may be ashamed.

3:14  Now if anyone does not obey our word in this letter, take note of him, and do not associate with him, that he may be ashamed.

14  And if any man obeyeth not our word by this epistle, note that man, that ye have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.

2Thes3:15  But do not be willing to consider him as an enemy; instead, correct him as a brother.

3:15  Yet do not consider him as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother.

15  And [yet] count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

2Thes3:16  Then may the Lord of peace himself give you an everlasting peace, in every place. May the Lord be with all of you.

3:16  Now may YHWH of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. YHWH be with you all.

16  Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.

2Thes3:17  The greeting of Paul with my own hand, which is the seal in every epistle. So do I write.

3:17  The greeting of Paul by my own hand, which is a sign in every letter; so I write.

2Thes3:18  May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

17  This salutation is in my own handwriting; I, Paul, wrote it, and it is the seal of all my epistles. This is the way I write.

3:18  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
