We ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because increase greatly doth your faith, and abound doth the love of each one of you all, to one another;

so that we ourselves do glory in you in the assemblies of God, for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye bear;

when He may come to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all those believing -- because our testimony was believed among you -- in that day;

for which also we do pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfil all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of the faith in power,

who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called God or worshipped, so that he in the sanctuary of God as God hath sat down, shewing himself off that he is God -- [the day doth not come].

[him,] whose presence is according to the working of the Adversary, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders,

and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because the love of the truth they did not receive for their being saved,

that they may be judged -- all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness.

and that we may be delivered from the unreasonable and evil men, for the faith [is] not of all;

and may the Lord of the peace Himself give to you the peace always in every way; the Lord [is] with you all!

the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you all! Amen.
