calling to mind before God our Father what our Lord Yeshua the Messiah has brought about in you — how your trust produces action, your love hard work, and your hope perseverance.

and to wait for his Son Yeshua, whom he raised from the dead, to appear from heaven and rescue us from the impending fury of God’s judgment.

For, brothers, you came to be imitators of God’s congregations in Y’hudah that are united with the Messiah Yeshua — you suffered the same things from your countrymen as they did from the Judeans who

both killed the Lord Yeshua and the prophets, and chased us out too. They are displeasing God and opposing all mankind

For when our Lord Yeshua returns, what will be our hope, our joy, our crown to boast about? Won’t it be you?

May God our Father and our Lord Yeshua direct our way to you.

so that he may give you the inner strength to be blameless, by reason of your holiness, when you stand before God our Father at the coming of our Lord Yeshua with all his angels.

Therefore, brothers, just as you learned from us how you had to live in order to please God, and just as you are living this way now, we ask you — indeed, united with the Lord Yeshua, we urge you — to keep doing so more and more.

For God has not intended that we should experience his fury, but that we should gain deliverance through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah,

In everything give thanks, for this is what God wants from you who are united with the Messiah Yeshua.

May the God of shalom make you completely holy — may your entire spirit, soul and body be kept blameless for the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with you.
