To Be Determined

Uncategorized Scripture

:

In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

:

Don’t quench the Spirit.

:

Don’t despise prophesies.

:

Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.

:

Abstain from every form of evil.

:

May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

:

He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.

:

Brothers, pray for us.

:

Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

:

I solemnly command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers.

:

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

:

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:

:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

:

We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you towards one another abounds;

:

so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.

:

This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you also suffer.

:

Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,

:

and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

:

giving vengeance to those who don’t know God, and to those who don’t obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,

:

who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

:

when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired among all those who have believed (because our testimony to you was believed) in that day.

:

To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith, with power;

:

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

:

Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, we ask you

:

not to be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, saying that the day of Christ had come.

:

Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the departure comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction,

:

he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.

:

Don’t you remember that, when I was still with you, I told you these things?

:

Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

:

For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.

:

Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;

:

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

:

and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

:

Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie;

:

that they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

:

But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth;

:

to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

:

So then, brothers, stand firm, and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word, or by letter.

:

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

:

comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.

:

Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you;

:

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

:

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one.

:

We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.

:

May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.

:

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks in rebellion, and not after the tradition which they received from us.

:

For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we didn’t behave ourselves rebelliously among you,

:

neither did we eat bread from anyone’s hand without paying for it, but in labor and travail worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you;

:

not because we don’t have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.

:

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: “If anyone will not work, neither let him eat.”

:

For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don’t work at all, but are busybodies.

:

Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

:

But you, brothers, don’t be weary in doing well.

:

If any man doesn’t obey our word in this letter, note that man, that you have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.

:

Don’t count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

:

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.

:

The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter: this is how I write.

:

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

:

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and Christ Jesus our hope;

:

to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

:

As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,

:

neither to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith–

:

but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith;

:

from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking;

:

desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.

:

But we know that the law is good, if a man uses it lawfully,

:

as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

:

for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

:

according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

:

And I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service;

:

although I was before a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

:

The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

:

The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

:

However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life.

:

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

:

This instruction I commit to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to you, that by them you may wage the good warfare;

:

holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith;

:

of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered to Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.

:

I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men:

:

for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence.

:

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;

:

who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth.

:

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

:

who gave himself as a ransom for all; the testimony in its own times;

:

to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth in Christ, not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

:

I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.

:

In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing;

:

but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.

:

Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.

:

But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.

:

For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

:

Adam wasn’t deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;

:

but she will be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith, love, and sanctification with sobriety.

:

This is a faithful saying: if a man seeks the office of an overseer, he desires a good work.

:

The overseer therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sensible, modest, hospitable, good at teaching;

:

not a drinker, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;

:

one who rules his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence;

:

(but if a man doesn’t know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the assembly of God?)

:

not a new convert, lest being puffed up he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.

:

Moreover he must have good testimony from those who are outside, to avoid falling into reproach and the snare of the devil.
