¹² By Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I account `him', I have written unto you briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand ye fast therein.

²² But I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation, for I have written unto you in few words.

¹⁹ For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, `even' by me and Silvanus and Timothy, was not yea and nay, but in him is yea.

¹ Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand,

²³ who, when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad; and he exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord:

²⁴ But I hold not my life of any account as dear unto myself, so that I may accomplish my course, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

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

¹ Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ;

³ Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints.

¹² Demetrius hath the witness of all `men', and of the truth itself: yea, we also bear witness: and thou knowest that our witness is true.

⁹ If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for the witness of God is this, that he hath borne witness concerning his Son.

¹⁰ He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in him: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he hath not believed in the witness that God hath borne concerning his Son.

¹⁵ forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the `son' of Beor, who loved the hire of wrong-doing;

¹² Wherefore I shall be ready always to put you in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth which is with `you'.

² through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

²⁴ Not that we have lordship over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for in faith ye stand fast.

⁸ But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.

⁹ As we have said before, so say I now again, if any man preacheth unto you any gospel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema.

³ how that by revelation was made known unto me the mystery, as I wrote before in few words,

²¹ But that ye also may know my affairs, how I do, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:

⁷ even as ye learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on our behalf,

⁷ All my affairs shall Tychicus make known unto you, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow-servant in the Lord:

⁹ together with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things that `are done' here.

²¹ Peter therefore seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
