Chapter Two

The Man of Lawlessness

1 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers] 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Stand Firm

13 But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth. 14 To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter. 16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, 17 comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.

The Second LETTER of PAUL to the THESSALONIANS

 

Overview: 2 Thessalonians- ( The Bible Project )

Chapter One

Greeting

1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy,

To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

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

Thanksgiving

3 We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing. 4 Therefore we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions that you are enduring.

The Judgment at Christ's Coming

5 This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering— 6 since indeed God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you, 7 and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels 8 in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, 10 when he comes on that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be marvelled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed. 11 To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfil every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, 12 so 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.

PSALM 112

 

The Righteous Will Never Be Moved

1 

Praise the Lord!

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,

    who greatly delights in his commandments!

2 

His offspring will be mighty in the land;

    the generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 

Wealth and riches are in his house,

    and his righteousness endures forever.

4 

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright;

    he is gracious, merciful, and righteous.

5 

It is well with the man who deals generously and lends;

    who conducts his affairs with justice.

6 

For the righteous will never be moved;

    he will be remembered forever.

7 

He is not afraid of bad news;

    his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

8 

His heart is steady; he will not be afraid,

    until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.

9 

He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor;

    his righteousness endures forever;

    his horn is exalted in honor.

10 

The wicked man sees it and is angry;

    he gnashes his teeth and melts away;

    the desire of the wicked will perish!

PSALM 113

Who Is like the Lord Our God?

1

Praise the Lord!

Praise, O servants of the Lord,

    praise the name of the Lord!

2  

Blessed be the name of the Lord

    from this time forth and forevermore!

3 

From the rising of the sun to its setting,

    the name of the Lord is to be praised!

4 

The Lord is high above all nations,

    and his glory above the heavens!

5 

Who is like the Lord our God,

    who is seated on high,

6 

who looks far down

    on the heavens and the earth?

7 

He raises the poor from the dust

    and lifts the needy from the ash heap,

8 

to make them sit with princes,

    with the princes of his people.

9 

He gives the barren woman a home,

    making her the joyous mother of children.

Praise the Lord!

PSALMS 110

 

Sit at My Right Hand

1

The Lord says to my Lord:

    “Sit at my right hand,

until I make your enemies your footstool.”

2 

The Lord sends forth from Zion

    your mighty scepter.

    Rule in the midst of your enemies!

3 

Your people will offer themselves freely

    on the day of your power,

    in holy garments;

from the womb of the morning,

    the dew of your youth will be yours.

4 

The Lord has sworn

    and will not change his mind,

“You are a priest forever

    after the order of Melchizedek.”

5 

The Lord is at your right hand;

    he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.

6 

He will execute judgment among the nations,

    filling them with corpses;

he will shatter chiefs

    over the wide earth.

7 

He will drink from the brook by the way;

    therefore he will lift up his head.

Paul's Letter to TITUS Chapter Three

 

Be Ready for Every Good  Work

1 Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarrelling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. 3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Saviour appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour, 7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people. 9 But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. 10 As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him, 11 knowing that such a person is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned.

Final Instructions and Greetings

12 When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. 13 Do your best to speed Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way; see that they lack nothing. 14 And let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not be unfruitful.

15 All who are with me send greetings to you. Greet those who love us in the faith.

Grace be with you all
