Paul, 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 our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

To all those who are in Rome, beloved of God, called [to be] saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, lead us directly to you.

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

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

"Just as the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.

Greater love has no one than this, that one should lay down his life on behalf of his friends.

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

even when we were dead in transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

And walk in love, just as Christ also loved us and gave Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a fragrant aroma.

Husbands, love your own wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,

But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared,

whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

By this we have come to know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives in behalf of our brothers.

By this the love of God is manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, in order that we might live through Him.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and who washed us from our sins in His own blood,

Behold, I will give those of the synagogue of Satan, those who say they are Jews and are not, but they are lying-behold, I will compel them to come and bow down at your feet, and they shall know that I have loved you.

But the mercy of the Lord is from generation to generation upon them that fear Him, and His righteousness to children's children;

and shall return, and come to Zion with joy, and everlasting joy [shall be] over their head; for on their head [shall be] praise and exaltation, and joy shall take possession of them; sorrow and pain, and groaning have fled away.

For by [the help of] the Lord they shall return, and come to Zion with joy and everlasting exaltation, for praise and joy shall come upon their head; pain, grief, and groaning have fled away.

And you shall no more have the sun for a light by day, nor shall the rising of the moon lighten your night; but the Lord shall be your everlasting light, and God your glory.

For the sun shall no more set, nor shall the moon be eclipsed; for the Lord shall be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be completed.

Thus shall they inherit the land a second time, and everlasting joy shall be upon their head.

But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things, but now here he is comforted and you are suffering.

but whoever drinks of the water which I shall give him will by no means ever thirst again. But the water which I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into eternal life."

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, so that He may abide with you forever,

I will not leave you orphans; I am coming to you.

Therefore you also now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.

For our momentary light affliction is working out for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are for a season, but the things which are not seen last forever.

in order that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong encouragement, who have fled to take hold of the hope being set before [us];

who by the power of God [are] being guarded through faith for the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

so that the genuineness of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes, though being tested with fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; nor shall the sun by any means strike them, nor any scorching heat;

because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne shepherds them, and He leads them to [the] springs of [the] waters of life. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

And night shall not exist. and there [shall] not [be a] need of a lamp and of light, because the Lord God shall illuminate them. And they shall reign forever and ever.

through whom also we have had access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

and endurance, character; and character, hope.

For by this hope we were saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?

But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly await it with endurance.

because of the hope being laid up for you in [the] heavens, in which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel,

if indeed you continue in the faith, having been founded and firm and not drifting away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was proclaimed to all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.

constantly remembering your work of faith, labor of love, and perseverance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the presence of our God and Father,

in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time [itself],

looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

But we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until [the] end,

lest you become dull, but [become] imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

which [hope] we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and secure, and which enters into the inner [side] of the veil,

For the law made nothing perfect; but there [is] the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

who by the power of God [are] being guarded through faith for the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.

And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

But through the grace of the Lord Jesus, we believe that we will be saved in the same manner as they."

And when he desired to go across to Achaia, having urged him on, the brothers wrote to the disciples [there] to receive him; and when he arrived, he assisted greatly with those who had believed through grace;

Now to him who works, the reward is not accounted according to grace but according to debt.

Therefore it is of faith that it may be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those of the law, but also to those of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

through whom also we have had access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Even so then, at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

And if by grace, [it is] no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if [it is] of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
