¹ I, therefore, the prisoner in the Lord exhort you to walk worthily of the calling with which ye were called,

²⁰ giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;

⁶ having become persuaded of this very thing, that He Who began in you a good work will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ; ⁷ even as it is right for me to think this in behalf of you all; because ye have me in your heart, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Gospel, all of you being partakers with me of the grace.

⁹ And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge and all discernment;

⁹ And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge and all discernment; ¹⁰ so that ye may approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be pure and without offense to the day of Christ; ¹¹ being filled with the fruit of righteousness, which is through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

¹³ for it is God Who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

⁹ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness which is of God by faith:

¹⁴ I am pressing on toward the mark, for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

¹⁹ whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who are thinking of earthly things.

⁹ For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, cease not praying for you, and asking that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of His will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, ¹⁰ to walk worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the knowledge of God; ¹¹ strengthened with all power, according to the might of His glory, unto all patience and long-suffering with joy; ¹² giving thanks to the Father, Who made us meet for the portion of the inheritance of the saints in light;

¹² giving thanks to the Father, Who made us meet for the portion of the inheritance of the saints in light; ¹³ Who delivered us out of the dominion of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of His love;

¹⁶ because in Him were all things created, in the heavens, and upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers—all things have been created through Him, and for Him;

⁹ because in Him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily; ¹⁰ and ye have been made complete in Him, Who is the Head of all principality and power;

²⁵ For he that does wrong shall receive back the wrong which he did; and there is no respect of persons,

¹ Paul, and Sylvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ: grace to you, and peace. ² We give thanks to God at all times for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;

² We give thanks to God at all times for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; ³ remembering, without ceasing, your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

³ remembering, without ceasing, your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father;

³ remembering, without ceasing, your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father; ⁴ knowing, brethren beloved by God, your election; ⁵ because our Gospel came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as ye know what manner of men we became toward you, for your sake.

⁵ because our Gospel came not to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance; even as ye know what manner of men we became toward you, for your sake. ⁶ And ye became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation with joy of the Holy Spirit; ⁷ so that ye became a model to all who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia. ⁸ For from you has sounded forth the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God has gone forth; so that we have no need to speak anything; ⁹ for they themselves report, concerning us, what manner of entrance we had to you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God, ¹⁰ and to wait for His Son from Heaven, Whom He raised from the dead, Jesus, Who delivers us from the coming wrath.

¹ For ye yourselves, brethren, know our entrance to you, that it has not become vain;

¹² that ye should walk worthily of God, Who is calling you into His own Kingdom and glory. ¹³ And, for this reason, we also give thanks to God without ceasing, that, having received the word of God which ye heard from us, ye received it, not as the word of men, but, as it truly is, the word of God, which also is working in you who believe.

¹³ And, for this reason, we also give thanks to God without ceasing, that, having received the word of God which ye heard from us, ye received it, not as the word of men, but, as it truly is, the word of God, which also is working in you who believe. ¹⁴ For ye, brethren, became imitators of the assemblies of God, that are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; because ye suffered the same things from your own countrymen, as they also did from the Jews;

¹⁹ For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Are not even ye, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming?

² and sent Timothy, our brother and minister of God in the Gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to exhort you concerning your faith; ³ that no one should be shaken in these tribulations; for ye yourselves know that for this we are appointed. ⁴ For even when we were with you, we told you beforehand, "We are about to suffer tribulation"; even as also it came to pass, and ye know. ⁵ For this reason, I also, no longer enduring it, sent, that I might know your faith, lest by some means the tempter tempted you, and our labor should be in vain. ⁶ But, Timothy having just now come to us from you, and having brought us good tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us at all times, longing to see us, as we also to see you—

⁶ But, Timothy having just now come to us from you, and having brought us good tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us at all times, longing to see us, as we also to see you— ⁷ for this reason, brethren, we were comforted over you, in all our tribulation and distress, through your faith; ⁸ because now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. ⁹ For what thanksgiving can we render again to God concerning you for all the joy wherewith we rejoice on your account before our God;

⁹ For what thanksgiving can we render again to God concerning you for all the joy wherewith we rejoice on your account before our God; ¹⁰ night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, and perfect the deficiencies in your faith? ¹¹ Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you; ¹² and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love toward one another, and toward all, as we also do toward you,

¹² and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love toward one another, and toward all, as we also do toward you, ¹³ to the end that He may establish your hearts unblamable in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.

¹ Finally, then, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as ye received from us how ye ought to walk, and to please God—even as ye also are walking—that ye abound more and more;

⁵ not in passion of desire, even as the gentiles, who know not God;

⁹ But concerning brotherly love, ye have no need that one write to you; for ye yourselves are taught by God to love one another; ¹⁰ and, in fact, ye do it to all the brethren who are in all Macedonia; but we exhort you, brethren, to abound yet more;

¹⁶ because the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven, with a shout, with a voice of an archangel, and with a trumpet of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; ¹⁷ after that we, the living who are left over, will be caught up together with them in clouds, into the air, to meet the Lord; and so shall we always be with the Lord.

³ When they are saying, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in nowise escape.

⁵ a proof of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that ye may be accounted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer; ⁶ since it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to those who cause you tribulation; ⁷ and to you who suffer tribulation, relief with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from Heaven with the angels of His power, in flaming fire,

¹⁰ when He shall come to be glorified in His saints, and to be marveled at in all who believed (because our testimony to you was believed), in that day. ¹¹ To which end we also pray for you always, that our God may account you worthy of your calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and work of faith, with power; ¹² that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and ye in Him, according to the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.

⁸ And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth, and will bring to nought by the manifestation of His presence;

¹³ But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord; because God, from the beginning, chose you to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of truth; ¹⁴ unto which He called you through our Gospel, to an obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

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

¹² For which cause I am suffering also these things; but I am not ashamed; for I know Whom I have believed, and have become persuaded that He is able to guard my deposit unto that day.

¹⁸ (the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord in that day); and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, you know very well.

¹² if we endure, we shall also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;

⁸ henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the Righteous Judge, will recompense to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all those who have loved His appearing.

¹¹ For the salvation-imparting grace of God appeared to all men,

¹³ looking for the blissful hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ;

⁴ But, when the kindness and the benevolence of God our Savior appeared, ⁵ not by works of righteousness which we did, but according to His mercy, He saved us through a washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit; ⁶ Whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior; ⁷ that having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

³ how shall we escape, having neglected so great salvation; which, indeed, having at first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;

¹ Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a Heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus,

¹ Let us, therefore, fear, lest a promise still being left of entering into His rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it.

⁹ Consequently, there remains a sabbath-keeping for the people of God.

¹¹ Let us, therefore, give diligence to enter into that rest, that no one fall after the same example of unbelief.

⁹ and, having been made perfect, He became the Author of eternal life to all who obey Him;

¹⁵ And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

²⁸ so also Christ, having once for all been offered to bear the sins of many, will, to those who are eagerly waiting for Him; appear a second time apart from sin, unto salvation.

²⁷ but a certain fearful expectation of judgment and fierceness of fire about to devour the opposers.

²⁹ of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be accounted worthy, who trampled under foot the Son of God, and accounted the blood of the covenant with which He was sanctified an unholy thing, and treated with contempt the Spirit of grace? ³⁰ For we know Him Who said, To Me belongs vengeance; I will recompense," saith the Lord; and again, "The Lord will judge His people."

³² But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings; ³³ partly, indeed, when ye were made a spectacle both with reproaches and tribulations; and partly, when ye became partakers with those who were so used;

³⁶ For ye have need of patience, that, after having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

⁸ By faith Abraham, when called, obeyed to go forth into the place which he was about to receive for an inheritance; and he went forth, not knowing whither he was going.

¹ Therefore, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us—having thrown off every encumbrance and the easily besetting sin—let us run with patience the race lying before us; ² looking away to the Author and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus; Who, in consideration of the joy lying before Him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath taken a seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

² looking away to the Author and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus; Who, in consideration of the joy lying before Him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath taken a seat at the right hand of the throne of God. ³ For consider Him Who hath endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye become weary, fainting in your souls.

²⁹ for, verily, our God is a consuming fire.

³ knowing that the proving of your faith establishes patience. ⁴ And let patience have a perfect work; that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.

⁷ Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth; being patient over it, until it receives the early and latter rain. ⁸ Be ye also patient; establish your hearts, because the coming of the Lord has drawn near.

¹¹ Behold, we pronounce those happy who endured: ye heard of the patience of Job; and ye saw the end of the Lord, that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful.

² elect according to the fore-knowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: grace to you, and peace be multiplied.

⁷ that the proving of your faith—being much more precious than gold that perishes, but is proved through fire—may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; ⁸ Whom, not having seen, ye love; on Whom, though now not seeing Him, yet believing, ye exult with joy unspeakable and full of glory;

²² Having purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned brotherly love, love one another from the heart earnestly;

⁹ But ye are "an elect race, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation," a people for a possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

⁶ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, of whom ye became children; if ye do good, and fear no alarm.

²² Who is on the right hand of God, having gone into Heaven, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.

¹⁴ If ye are reproached in Christ's name, happy are ye, because the Spirit of glory and that of God rests upon you.

¹⁴ If ye are reproached in Christ's name, happy are ye, because the Spirit of glory and that of God rests upon you. ¹⁵ For let no one of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a meddler in other men's matters; ¹⁶ but, if one suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name. ¹⁷ Because it is the time for judgment to begin at the house of God; and, if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of those who obey not the Gospel of God?

¹⁷ Because it is the time for judgment to begin at the house of God; and, if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of those who obey not the Gospel of God? ¹⁸ And, if the righteous, with difficulty, is saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?

¹⁰ And the God of all grace, Who called you into His everlasting glory in Christ, after ye have suffered a little while, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, settle you.

⁵ and, even for this very reason, adding all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in virtue, knowledge; ⁶ and in knowledge, continence; and in continence, patience; and in patience, godliness;

⁶ and in knowledge, continence; and in continence, patience; and in patience, godliness; ⁷ and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love. ⁸ For these things, belonging to you and abounding, make you neither idle nor unfruitful regarding the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ; ⁹ for he to whom these things are lacking is blind, seeing dimly, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins. ¹⁰ Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure; for, if ye do these things, ye shall in nowise ever stumble;

¹³ And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by reminding you;

¹⁷ These are fountains without water, and mists driven by a storm, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved.

⁷ but the present heavens and the earth, by the same word, have been stored up for fire, being kept unto the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing noise, and the elements, being intensely hot, shall be dissolved, and the earth and the works therein shall be burned up. ¹¹ Seeing, therefore, that all these things are thus to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conduct and godliness, ¹² looking for, and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens, being on fire, will be dissolved; and the elements, being intensely hot, shall melt!

¹⁸ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever.

¹³ wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own ignominies; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of the darkness has been reserved forever. ¹⁴ And to these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with His holy myriads, ¹⁵ to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness, which in ungodliness they committed, and of all the hard things which, as ungodly sinners, they spake against Him."

⁴ John to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you, and peace, from Him Who is, and Who was, and Who is coming; and from the seven Spirits Who are before His throne;

⁷ Behold, He cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth shall lament over Him! Even so. Amen.

⁴ But you have a few names in Sardis, who did not defile their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, because they are worthy.

¹⁰ and didst make them, to our God, a Kingdom and priests, and they reign on the earth."

¹⁰ And they cried with a great voice, saying, "How long, O Master, the Holy, and the True, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell upon the earth?"

¹⁶ and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him Who is sitting on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; ¹⁷ because the great day of their wrath came, and who is able to stand?"

¹¹ And all the angels stood around the throne, and around the elders, and the four living creatures; and they fell before the throne on their faces, and worshiped God, ¹² saying, "Amen. The blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom, and the thanksgiving, and the honor, and the power, and the strength, be to our God forever and ever. Amen!"

¹⁴ And I have said to him, "My lord, you know." And he said to me, "These are those who come out of the great tribulation; and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. ¹⁵ For this reason are they before the throne of God, and they serve Him day and night in His Temple; and He Who sitteth on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them. ¹⁶ They shall hunger no more, nor thirst any more; nor shall the sun by any means fall on them, nor any heat; ¹⁷ because the Lamb, Who is in the midst of the throne, will be their Shepherd, and will guide them to the fountains of the waters of life; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

¹⁸ And the nations were angered, and Thy anger came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and to give the reward to Thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and to those who fear Thy name, the small and the great; and to destroy those who destroy the earth."

¹⁰ he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which has been mingled undiluted in the cup of His anger; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and before the Lamb. ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receives the mark of his name. ¹² Here is the patience of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. ¹³ And I heard a voice from Heaven, saying, "Write: Happy are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth! Yea," saith the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them."

⁴ Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? because Thou only art holy; because all the nations shall come, and worship before Thee; because Thy righteous acts were made manifest."

⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters, saying, "Righteous art Thou, Who art, and Who wast, the Holy One, because Thou didst thus judge; ⁶ because they poured out the blood of saints and of prophets, and Thou hast given them blood to drink: they are worthy!" ⁷ And I heard another out of the altar, saying, "Yea, O Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are Thy judgments."

²⁰ Rejoice over her, O Heaven, and ye saints, and ye apostles, and ye prophets; because God judged your judgment on her.'

²⁴ And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth.

² because true and righteous are His judgments; because He judged the great harlot; who, indeed, corrupted the earth with her fornication, and He avenged the blood of His servants at her hand."

¹⁰ And the Devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where also the beast and the false prophet were cast; and they shall be tormented, day and night, forever and ever. ¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and Him Who was sitting thereon, from Whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and no place was found for them.

¹⁴ And Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, even the lake of fire.

¹⁴ And Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, even the lake of fire. ¹⁵ And, if anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

⁴ And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. And death shall be no more; neither mourning, nor crying, nor pain, shall be any more; because the first things passed away."

⁸ But, for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, their part shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death."

⁶ And he said to me, "These words are faithful and true; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show to His servants the things which must shortly come to pass.

⁹ And he says, "See that you do it not. I am a fellow-servant with you and with your brethren the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book: worship God."

¹⁵ Without are the dogs and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one loving and acting a lie. ¹⁶ "I, Jesus, sent My angel to testify to you these things to the assemblies. I am the root and offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.
