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.

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

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

From Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now regarding the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to be with him, we ask you, brothers and sisters,

He called you to this salvation through our gospel, so that you may possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

and to you who are being afflicted to give rest together with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels.

With flaming fire he will mete out punishment on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

and then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will destroy by the breath of his mouth and wipe out by the manifestation of his arrival.

Now such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and so provide their own food to eat.

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

But we command you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who lives an undisciplined life and not according to the tradition they received from us.
