From: Sha’ul, Sila and Timothy To: The Messianic Community of the Thessalonians, united with God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah:

Grace to you and shalom from God the Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

and to give rest along with us to you who are being troubled, when the Lord Yeshua is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels

in a fiery flame. Then he will punish those who don’t know God, that is, those who don’t listen to the Good News of our Lord Yeshua and obey it.

In this way, the name of our Lord Yeshua will be glorified in you, and you in him, in accordance with the grace of our God and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

But in connection with the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah and our gathering together to meet him, we ask you, brothers,

Then the one who embodies separation from Torah will be revealed, the one whom the Lord Yeshua will slay with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the glory of his coming.

He called you to this through our Good News, so that you could have the glory of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

And may our Lord Yeshua the Messiah himself and God our Father, who has loved us and by his grace given us eternal comfort and a good hope,

Now, in the name of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah we command you, brothers, to stay away from any brother who is leading a life of idleness, a life not in keeping with the tradition you received from us.

We command such people — and in union with the Lord Yeshua the Messiah we urge them — to settle down, get to work, and earn their own living.

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