king james study 11 Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ Grace be unto you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ . 12 We give thanks to God always for you all making mention of you in our prayers . 13 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labour of love and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of God and our Father . 14 Knowing brethren beloved your election of God . 15 For our gospel came not unto you in word only but also in power and in the Holy Ghost and in much assurance as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake . 16 And ye became followers of us and of the Lord having received the word in much affliction with joy of the Holy Ghost . 17 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia . 18 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia but also in every place your faith to God- ward is spread abroad so that we need not to speak any thing . 19 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God . 110 And to wait for his Son from heaven whom he raised from the dead even Jesus which delivered us from the wrath to come . * 21 For yourselves brethren know our entrance in unto you that it was not in vain . 22 But even after that we had suffered before and were shamefully entreated as ye know at Philippi we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention . 23 For our exhortation was not of deceit nor of uncleanness nor in guile . 24 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel even so we speak not as pleasing men but God which trieth our hearts . 25 For neither at any time used we flattering words as ye know nor a cloak of covetousness God is witness . 26 Nor of men sought we glory neither of you nor yet of others when we might have been burdensome as the apostles of Christ . 27 But we were gentle among you even as a nurse cherisheth her children . 28 So being affectionately desirous of you we were willing to have imparted unto you not the gospel of God only but also our own souls because ye were dear unto us . 29 For ye remember brethren our labour and travail for labouring night and day because we would not be chargeable unto any of you we preached unto you the gospel of God . 210 Ye are witnesses and God also how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe . 211 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you as a father doth his children . 212 That ye would walk worthy of God who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory . 213 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing because when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us ye received it not as the word of men but as it is in truth the word of God which effectually worketh also in you that believe . 214 For ye brethren became followers of the churches of 214 For ye brethren became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen even as they have of the Jews . 215 Who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets and have persecuted us and they please not God and are contrary to all men . 216 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved to fill up their sins alway for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost . 217 But we brethren being taken from you for a short time in presence not in heart endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire . 218 Wherefore we would have come unto you even I Paul once and again but Satan hindered us . 219 For what is our hope or joy or crown of rejoicing Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming . 220 For ye are our glory and joy . * 31 Wherefore when we could no longer forbear we thought it good to be left at Athens alone . 32 And sent Timotheus our brother and minister of God and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ to establish you and to comfort you concerning your faith . 33 That no man should be moved by these afflictions for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto . 34 For verily when we were with you we told you before that we should suffer tribulation even as it came to pass and ye know . 35 For this cause when I could no longer forbear I sent to know your faith lest by some means the tempter have tempted you and our labour be in vain . 36 But now when Timotheus came from you unto us and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity and that ye have good remembrance of us always desiring greatly to see us as we also to see you . 37 Therefore brethren we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith . 38 For now we live if ye stand fast in the Lord . 39 For what thanks can we render to God again for you for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God . 310 Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith . 311 Now God himself and our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ direct our way unto you . 312 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another and toward all men even as we do toward you . 313 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God even our Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints . * 41 Furthermore then we beseech you brethren and exhort you by the Lord Jesus that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God so ye would abound more and more . 42 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus . 43 For this is the will of God even your sanctification that ye should abstain from fornication . 44 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour . 45 Not in the lust of concupiscence even as the Gentiles which know not God . 46 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter because that the Lord is the avenger of all such as we also have forewarned you and testified . 47 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness but unto holiness . 48 He therefore that despiseth despiseth not man but God who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit . 49 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another . 410 And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia but we beseech you brethren that ye increase more and more . 411 And that ye study to be quiet and to do your own business and to work with your own hands as we commanded you . 412 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without and that ye may have lack of nothing . 413 But I would not have you to be ignorant brethren concerning them which are asleep that ye sorrow not even as others which have no hope . 414 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him . 415 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep . 416 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first . 417 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord . 418 Wherefore comfort one another with these words . * 51 But of the times and the seasons brethren ye have no need that I write unto you . 52 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night . 53 For when they shall say Peace and safety then sudden destruction cometh upon them as travail upon a woman with child and they shall not escape . 54 But ye brethren are not in darkness that that day should overtake you as a thief . 55 Ye are all the children of light and the children of the day we are not of the night nor of darkness . 56 Therefore let us not sleep as do others but let us watch and be sober . 57 For they that sleep sleep in the night and they that be drunken are drunken in the night . 58 But let us who are of the day be sober putting on the breastplate of faith and love and for an helmet the hope of salvation . 59 For God hath not appointed us to wrath but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ . 510 Who died for us that whether we wake or sleep we should live together with him . 511 Wherefore comfort yourselves together and edify one another even as also ye do . 512 And we beseech you brethren to know them which labour among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you . |
