11 With this in mind, we constantly pray for you,(A) that our God may make you worthy(B) of his calling,(C) and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness(D) and your every deed prompted by faith.(E) 12 We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you,(F) and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.[a]

The Man of Lawlessness

Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ(G) and our being gathered to him,(H) we ask you, brothers and sisters, not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter(I)—asserting that the day of the Lord(J) has already come.(K)

  1. 2 Thessalonians 1:12 Or God and Lord, Jesus Christ

11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

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

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

That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
