Colossians 1:15–23  who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, 16 because all things in the heavens and on the earth were created by him, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers, all things were created through him and for him, 17 and he himself is before all things, and in him all things are held together, 18 and he himself is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he himself may become first in everything, 19 because he was well pleased for all the fullness to dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, by making peace through the blood of his cross, through him, whether things on earth or things in heaven.

21 And although you were formerly alienated and enemies in attitude, because of your evil deeds, 22 but now you have been reconciled by his physical body through death, to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23 if indeed you remain in the faith, established and steadfast and not shifted away from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.

Colossians 3:5  Therefore put to death what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustful passion, evil desire, and greediness, which is idolatry,

Colossians 3:5  Therefore put to death what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustful passion, evil desire, and greediness, which is idolatry,

Colossians 3:8–9  But now you also lay aside all these things: anger, rage, wickedness, slander, abusive language from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, because you have taken off the old man together with his deeds,

Colossians 1:9–10  Because of this also we, from the day we heard about it, did not cease praying for you, and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual insight, 10 so that you may live in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good deed and increasing in the knowledge of God,

Colossians 2:2  so that their hearts may be encouraged, united in love and into all the wealth of the full assurance of insight into the knowledge of the mystery of God, Christ,

Colossians 3:11  where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all, and in all.

Colossians 3:12  Therefore, as the chosen of God, holy and dearly loved, put on affection, compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience,

Colossians 3:12  Therefore, as the chosen of God, holy and dearly loved, put on affection, compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience,

Colossians 3:19  Husbands, love your wives and do not be embittered against them.

Colossians 3:21  Fathers, do not provoke your children, so that they will not become discouraged.

Colossians 4:1  Masters, grant your slaves justice and fairness, knowing that you also have a master in heaven.

Colossians 3:22  Slaves, obey your human masters in everything, not while being watched, as people pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.

Colossians 3:24  because you know that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. Serve the Lord Christ.

Colossians 3:5  Therefore put to death what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustful passion, evil desire, and greediness, which is idolatry,

Colossians 1:21–23  And although you were formerly alienated and enemies in attitude, because of your evil deeds, 22 but now you have been reconciled by his physical body through death, to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23 if indeed you remain in the faith, established and steadfast and not shifted away from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.

Colossians 2:20  If you have died with Christ to the elemental spirits of the world, why do you submit to them as if living in the world?

Colossians 3:5–7  Therefore put to death what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustful passion, evil desire, and greediness, which is idolatry, because of which the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which also you once lived, when you used to live in them.

Colossians 2:14  having destroyed the certificate of indebtedness in ordinances against us, which was hostile to us, and removed it out of the way by nailing it to the cross.

Colossians 2:15  When he had disarmed the rulers and the authorities, he made a display of them in public, triumphing over them by it.

Colossians 1:16–20  because all things in the heavens and on the earth were created by him, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers, all things were created through him and for him, 17 and he himself is before all things, and in him all things are held together, 18 and he himself is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he himself may become first in everything, 19 because he was well pleased for all the fullness to dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself, by making peace through the blood of his cross, through him, whether things on earth or things in heaven.

Colossians 2:9  because in him all the fullness of deity dwells bodily,

Colossians 2:15  When he had disarmed the rulers and the authorities, he made a display of them in public, triumphing over them by it.

Colossians 3:1  Therefore, if you have been raised together with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

Colossians 4:1  Masters, grant your slaves justice and fairness, knowing that you also have a master in heaven.

Colossians 4:2–16  Be devoted to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving, praying at the same time for us also, that God may open for us a door of the message, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which also I am a prisoner, so that I may reveal it, as it is necessary for me to speak. Live with wisdom toward those outside, making the most of the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how it is necessary for you to answer each one.

Tychicus, my dear brother and faithful servant and fellow slave in the Lord, will make known to you all my circumstances, whom I have sent to you for this very reason, in order that you may know our circumstances and he may encourage your hearts, together with Onesimus, my faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all the circumstances here.

10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions—if he should come to you, welcome him), 11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only ones who are fellow workers for the kingdom of God from the circumcision, who have been a comfort to me. 12 Epaphras, who is one of you, greets you, a slave of Christ always struggling on behalf of you in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God. 13 For I testify to him that he is working hard on behalf of you and those in Laodicea and those in Hierapolis. 14 Luke the physician, our dear friend, greets you, as does Demas. 15 Greet the brothers in Laodicea, and Nympha and the church in her house. 16 And whenever this letter is read among you, see to it that it is read also among the Laodicean church, and that you also read the letter from Laodicea.

Colossians 1:9  Because of this also we, from the day we heard about it, did not cease praying for you, and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual insight,

Colossians 2:3  in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.

Colossians 4:9  together with Onesimus, my faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all the circumstances here.

Colossians 4:7–9  Tychicus, my dear brother and faithful servant and fellow slave in the Lord, will make known to you all my circumstances, whom I have sent to you for this very reason, in order that you may know our circumstances and he may encourage your hearts, together with Onesimus, my faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all the circumstances here.

Colossians 1:7  just as you learned it from Epaphras, our dear fellow slave who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,

Colossians 4:7  Tychicus, my dear brother and faithful servant and fellow slave in the Lord, will make known to you all my circumstances,

Colossians 2:8  Beware lest anyone take you captive through philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world and not according to Christ,

Colossians 2:15  When he had disarmed the rulers and the authorities, he made a display of them in public, triumphing over them by it.

Colossians 3:11  where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all, and in all.

Colossians 4:9  together with Onesimus, my faithful and dear brother, who is one of you. They will make known to you all the circumstances here.

Colossians 4:15  Greet the brothers in Laodicea, and Nympha and the church in her house.

Colossians 4:3  praying at the same time for us also, that God may open for us a door of the message, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which also I am a prisoner,

Colossians 1:11  enabled with all power, according to his glorious might, for all steadfastness and patience with joy,

Colossians 1:24  Now I rejoice in my sufferings on behalf of you, and I fill up in my flesh what is lacking of the afflictions of Christ, on behalf of his body which is the church,

Colossians 4:17  And tell Archippus, “Direct your attention to the ministry that you received in the Lord, in order that you may complete it.”

1 Thessalonians (Edward Pillar)

1 Thessalonians 1:1–10  Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace.

We give thanks to God always concerning all of you, making mention constantly in our prayers, because we remember your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father, knowing, brothers dearly loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel did not come to you with word only, but also with power and with the Holy Spirit and with much certainty, just as you know what sort of people we became among you for your sake. And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit, so that you became an example to all those who believe in Macedonia and in Achaia, for from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith toward God has gone out, so that we have no need to say anything. For they themselves report about us, what sort of welcome we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10 and to await his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, the one who delivers us from the coming wrath.

1 Thessalonians 1:10  and to await his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, the one who delivers us from the coming wrath.

1 Thessalonians 2:19  For who is our hope or joy or crown of boasting? Is it not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at his coming?

1 Thessalonians 3:13  so that your hearts may be established blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

1 Thessalonians 4:15  For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain until the Lord’s coming, will not possibly precede those who have fallen asleep.

1 Thessalonians 5:23  Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete, blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 1:6  And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit,

1 Thessalonians 2:14  For you became imitators, brothers, of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because you also suffered the same things at the hands of your own people, just as they themselves did also at the hands of the Jews,

1 Thessalonians 3:3  so that no one would be shaken by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we are appointed for this,

1 Thessalonians 1:10  and to await his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, the one who delivers us from the coming wrath.

1 Thessalonians 2:14  For you became imitators, brothers, of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because you also suffered the same things at the hands of your own people, just as they themselves did also at the hands of the Jews,

1 Thessalonians 5:9  because God did not appoint us for wrath, but for the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

1 Thessalonians 1:9  For they themselves report about us, what sort of welcome we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,

1 Thessalonians 1:6  And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit,

1 Thessalonians 1:9–10  For they themselves report about us, what sort of welcome we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10 and to await his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, the one who delivers us from the coming wrath.

1 Thessalonians 2:1–12  For you yourselves know, brothers, our reception with you, that it was not in vain, but after we had already suffered and been mistreated in Philippi, just as you know, we had the courage in our God to speak to you the gospel of God amid much opposition. For our exhortation is not from error or from impurity or with deceit, but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, thus we speak, not as pleasing people but God, who examines our hearts. For never did we come with a word of flattery, just as you know, nor with a pretext of greediness (God is witness), nor seeking glory from people, neither from you nor from others. Although we could have insisted on our own importance as apostles of Christ, yet we became infants in your midst, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children. Longing for you in this way, we determined to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own souls, because you had become dear to us.

For you remember, brothers, our labor and hardship: working by night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you, we proclaimed to you the gospel of God. 10 You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly and righteously and blamelessly we became to you who believe, 11 just as you know how we treated each one of you, like a father his own children, 12 exhorting and consoling you and insisting that you live in a manner worthy of God, who calls you to his own kingdom and glory.

1 Thessalonians 4:13  Now we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you will not grieve as also the rest, who have no hope.

1 Thessalonians 2:4  but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, thus we speak, not as pleasing people but God, who examines our hearts.

1 Thessalonians 2:4  but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, thus we speak, not as pleasing people but God, who examines our hearts.

1 Thessalonians 2:5  For never did we come with a word of flattery, just as you know, nor with a pretext of greediness (God is witness),

1 Thessalonians 2:7  Although we could have insisted on our own importance as apostles of Christ, yet we became infants in your midst, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

1 Thessalonians 2:11  just as you know how we treated each one of you, like a father his own children,

1 Thessalonians 2:8  Longing for you in this way, we determined to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own souls, because you had become dear to us.

1 Thessalonians 2:9  For you remember, brothers, our labor and hardship: working by night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you, we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.

1 Thessalonians 2:10  You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly and righteously and blamelessly we became to you who believe,

1 Thessalonians 2:3  For our exhortation is not from error or from impurity or with deceit,

1 Thessalonians 2:5  For never did we come with a word of flattery, just as you know, nor with a pretext of greediness (God is witness),

1 Thessalonians 2:5  For never did we come with a word of flattery, just as you know, nor with a pretext of greediness (God is witness),

1 Thessalonians 2:2  but after we had already suffered and been mistreated in Philippi, just as you know, we had the courage in our God to speak to you the gospel of God amid much opposition.

1 Thessalonians 2:4  but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, thus we speak, not as pleasing people but God, who examines our hearts.

1 Thessalonians 2:8  Longing for you in this way, we determined to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own souls, because you had become dear to us.

1 Thessalonians 2:9  For you remember, brothers, our labor and hardship: working by night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you, we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.

1 Thessalonians 2:12  exhorting and consoling you and insisting that you live in a manner worthy of God, who calls you to his own kingdom and glory.

1 Thessalonians 2:13–14  And because of this we also give thanks to God constantly, that when you received God’s word that you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God, which also is at work in you who believe. 14 For you became imitators, brothers, of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because you also suffered the same things at the hands of your own people, just as they themselves did also at the hands of the Jews,

1 Thessalonians 1:6  And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit,

1 Thessalonians 1:6  And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit,

1 Thessalonians 2:13–14  And because of this we also give thanks to God constantly, that when you received God’s word that you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God, which also is at work in you who believe. 14 For you became imitators, brothers, of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because you also suffered the same things at the hands of your own people, just as they themselves did also at the hands of the Jews,

1 Thessalonians 2:15–16  who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and who persecuted us, and who are not pleasing to God and are opposed to all people, 16 hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles in order that they may be saved, so that they always fill up their sins. But wrath has come upon them to the end.

1 Thessalonians 3:3–4  so that no one would be shaken by these afflictions. For you yourselves know that we are appointed for this, for indeed when we were with you we told you beforehand that we were about to be afflicted, just as indeed it happened, and you know.

1 Thessalonians 2:17  But when we were made orphans by separation from you, brothers, for a short time (in face, not in heart), we were even more eager with great desire to see your face,

1 Thessalonians 2:20  For you are our glory and joy.

1 Thessalonians 2:18  because we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, on more than one occasion—and Satan hindered us.

1 Thessalonians 3:2  and we sent Timothy, our brother and fellow worker for God in the gospel of Christ, in order to strengthen and to encourage you about your faith,

1 Thessalonians 1:10  and to await his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, the one who delivers us from the coming wrath.

1 Thessalonians 3:5  Because of this, I also, when I could endure it no longer, sent in order to know your faith, lest somehow the tempter tempted you and our labor should be in vain.

1 Thessalonians 3:10  night and day praying beyond all measure that we may see your face and complete what is lacking in your faith?

1 Thessalonians 3:5  Because of this, I also, when I could endure it no longer, sent in order to know your faith, lest somehow the tempter tempted you and our labor should be in vain.

1 Thessalonians 3:6  But now, because Timothy has come to us from you and has brought good news to us of your faith and love, and that you always think kindly of us, desiring to see us just as also we desire to see you,

1 Thessalonians 3:8  because now we live, if you stand firm in the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 2:14–16  For you became imitators, brothers, of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus, because you also suffered the same things at the hands of your own people, just as they themselves did also at the hands of the Jews, 15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and who persecuted us, and who are not pleasing to God and are opposed to all people, 16 hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles in order that they may be saved, so that they always fill up their sins. But wrath has come upon them to the end.

1 Thessalonians 4:1–12  Finally therefore, brothers, we ask you and appeal to you in the Lord Jesus that, just as you have received from us how it is necessary for you to live and to please God, just as indeed you are living, that you progress even more. For you know what commands we gave to you through the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in lustful passion, just as also the Gentiles who do not know God; not to transgress and to exploit his brother in the matter, because the Lord is the one who avenges concerning all these things, just as also we told you beforehand and testified solemnly. For God did not call us to impurity, but in holiness. Therefore the one who rejects this is not rejecting man, but God, who also gives his Holy Spirit to you.

But concerning brotherly love, I do not have need to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another, 10 for indeed you are practicing it toward all the brothers in all of Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to progress even more, 11 and to aspire to live a quiet life, and to attend to your own business, and to work with your hands, just as we commanded you, 12 so that you may live decently toward those outside, and may have need of nothing.

1 Thessalonians 3:13  so that your hearts may be established blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

1 Thessalonians 4:1–2  Finally therefore, brothers, we ask you and appeal to you in the Lord Jesus that, just as you have received from us how it is necessary for you to live and to please God, just as indeed you are living, that you progress even more. For you know what commands we gave to you through the Lord Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 4:11–12  and to aspire to live a quiet life, and to attend to your own business, and to work with your hands, just as we commanded you, 12 so that you may live decently toward those outside, and may have need of nothing.

1 Thessalonians 4:11  and to aspire to live a quiet life, and to attend to your own business, and to work with your hands, just as we commanded you,

1 Thessalonians 4:3–5  For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in lustful passion, just as also the Gentiles who do not know God;

1 Thessalonians 4:7  For God did not call us to impurity, but in holiness.

1 Thessalonians 4:4  that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

1 Thessalonians 4:18  Therefore comfort one another with these words.

1 Thessalonians 5:11  Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, just as indeed you are doing.

1 Thessalonians 4:18  Therefore comfort one another with these words.

1 Thessalonians 4:14  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, thus also God will bring those who have fallen asleep through Jesus together with him.

1 Thessalonians 1:10  and to await his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, the one who delivers us from the coming wrath.

1 Thessalonians 4:13  Now we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you will not grieve as also the rest, who have no hope.

1 Thessalonians 1:10  and to await his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, the one who delivers us from the coming wrath.

1 Thessalonians 4:14  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, thus also God will bring those who have fallen asleep through Jesus together with him.

1 Thessalonians 5:11  Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, just as indeed you are doing.

1 Thessalonians 5:10  who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live at the same time with him.

1 Thessalonians 5:9  because God did not appoint us for wrath, but for the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

1 Thessalonians 1:10  and to await his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus, the one who delivers us from the coming wrath.

1 Thessalonians 5:1  Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need of anything to be written to you,

1 Thessalonians 5:3  Whenever they say “Peace and security,” then sudden destruction will overtake them like the birth pains of a pregnant woman, and they will not possibly escape.

1 Thessalonians 5:4–7  But you, brothers, are not in the darkness, so that the day should catch you like a thief, for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.

So then, we must not sleep like the rest, but must be on the alert and be self-controlled. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night.

1 Thessalonians 5:23  Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete, blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Thessalonians 4:1–12  Finally therefore, brothers, we ask you and appeal to you in the Lord Jesus that, just as you have received from us how it is necessary for you to live and to please God, just as indeed you are living, that you progress even more. For you know what commands we gave to you through the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in lustful passion, just as also the Gentiles who do not know God; not to transgress and to exploit his brother in the matter, because the Lord is the one who avenges concerning all these things, just as also we told you beforehand and testified solemnly. For God did not call us to impurity, but in holiness. Therefore the one who rejects this is not rejecting man, but God, who also gives his Holy Spirit to you.

But concerning brotherly love, I do not have need to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another, 10 for indeed you are practicing it toward all the brothers in all of Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to progress even more, 11 and to aspire to live a quiet life, and to attend to your own business, and to work with your hands, just as we commanded you, 12 so that you may live decently toward those outside, and may have need of nothing.

1 Thessalonians 4:17  Then we who are alive, who remain, will be snatched away at the same time together with them in the clouds for a meeting with the Lord in the air, and thus we will be together with the Lord always.

2 Thessalonians (Edward Pillar)

2 Thessalonians 1:1–12  Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We ought to give thanks to God always concerning you, brothers, just as it is fitting, because your faith is flourishing and the love of each one of you all toward one another is increasing so that we ourselves boast in you in the churches of God about your patient endurance and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions that you are enduring, a proof of the righteous judgment of God, so that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, on behalf of which also you are suffering, since it is righteous in the sight of God to pay back those who are afflicting you with affliction, and to you who are being afflicted, rest with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels, with burning flame giving punishment to those who do not know God and who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus, who will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength, 10 whenever he should come to be glorified on that day by his saints and to be marveled at by all who believe, because our testimony was believed among you, 11 for which purpose we also pray always for you, that you may be considered worthy of the calling of our God, and he might fulfill every desire for goodness and work of faith with power, 12 in order 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.

2 Maccabees 6:14  For not as with other nations, whom the Lord patiently forbeareth to punish, till they be come to the fulness of their sins, so dealeth he with us,

2 Thessalonians 1:5  a proof of the righteous judgment of God, so that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, on behalf of which also you are suffering,

2 Thessalonians 1:6  since it is righteous in the sight of God to pay back those who are afflicting you with affliction,

2 Thessalonians 1:9  who will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength,

2 Thessalonians 1:9–10  who will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength, 10 whenever he should come to be glorified on that day by his saints and to be marveled at by all who believe, because our testimony was believed among you,

2 Thessalonians 2:1–15  Now we ask you, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling to him, that you not be easily shaken from your composure, nor be troubled either by a spirit or by a message or by a letter alleged to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has arrived. Do not let anyone 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, who opposes and who exalts himself over every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, proclaiming that he himself is God.

Do you not remember that while we were still with you, we were saying these things to you? And you know that which restrains him now, so that he will be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is at work already; only the one who now restrains will do so until he is out of the way, and then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of his mouth, and wipe out by the appearance of his coming, whose coming is in accordance with the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with every unrighteous deception against those who are perishing, in place of which they did not accept the love of the truth, so that they would be saved. 11 And because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth, but delighted in unrighteousness.

13 But we ought to give thanks to God always concerning you, brothers dearly loved by the Lord, because God has chosen you as first fruits for salvation by the sanctification of the Spirit and faith in the truth, 14 for which purpose he called you through our gospel for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions which you were taught, whether by spoken word or by letter from us.

2 Thessalonians 2:9  whose coming is in accordance with the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders,

2 Thessalonians 2:15  So then, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions which you were taught, whether by spoken word or by letter from us.

2 Thessalonians 2:3  Do not let anyone 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,

2 Thessalonians 3:1–15  Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may progress and be honored, just as also it was with you, and that we may be delivered from evil and wicked people, for not all have the faith. But the Lord is faithful, who will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one. And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are both doing and you will do the things that we are commanding. Now may the Lord direct your hearts toward the love of God and toward the patient endurance of Christ.

But we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who lives irresponsibly and not according to the tradition that they received from us. For you yourselves know how it is necessary to imitate us, that we did not behave irresponsibly among you, nor did we eat bread from anyone without paying, but with toil and labor, we were working night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you, not that we do not have the right, but so that we may give ourselves as an example to you, so that you may imitate us. 10 For even when we were with you, we used to command this to you: that if anyone does not want to work, neither should he eat. 11 For we hear that some among you are living irresponsibly, working at nothing, but being busybodies. 12 Now we command and we exhort such people in the Lord Jesus Christ that, working with quietness, they eat their own bread. 13 But as for you, brothers, do not be discouraged while doing what is right. 14 But if anyone does not obey our message through this letter, take note not to associate with him, in order that he may be put to shame. 15 And do not consider him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

1 Thessalonians 1:9  For they themselves report about us, what sort of welcome we had with you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,

2 Thessalonians 3:6  But we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who lives irresponsibly and not according to the tradition that they received from us.

1 Corinthians 16:21  The greeting is by my hand—Paul’s.

Colossians 4:18  The greeting is by my hand, Paul’s. Remember my imprisonment. Grace be with you.

2 Thessalonians 2:2  that you not be easily shaken from your composure, nor be troubled either by a spirit or by a message or by a letter alleged to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has arrived.

2 Thessalonians 3:10  For even when we were with you, we used to command this to you: that if anyone does not want to work, neither should he eat.

1 Timothy (Deborah Krause)

2 Peter 3:16  as he does also in all his letters, speaking in them about these things, in which there are some things hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable distort to their own destruction, as they also do the rest of the scriptures.

1 Corinthians 4:17  Because of this, I have sent to you Timothy, who is my dear and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ Jesus, just as I teach everywhere in every church.

1 Corinthians 16:10  But if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without cause to fear, for he is carrying out the Lord’s work, as I also am.
