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

so that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all persecutions and tribulations that ye endure,

when He shall come on that Day to be glorified in His saints and to be admired in all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

Therefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power,

who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sitteth as God in the temple of God, showing himself to be God.

even him, whose coming is according to the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders,

and with all the deceit of unrighteousness in those who perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

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

and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all men have faith.

For we hear that there are some among you who walk disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

Now the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

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