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 who are in Rome, beloved of God, called 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, direct our way to you.

But we owe thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you 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 everyone believing into Him should not perish but have eternal 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.

As the Father loves Me, I also love you; continue in My love.

Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.

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

but God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved),

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

Husbands, love your 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 abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,

By this we know the love of God, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

In this the love of God was revealed in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, 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 out from the dead, and the Ruler over the kings of the earth; to Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood,

Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie; indeed I will make them come and bow the knee before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.

But the mercy of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear Him, and His righteousness unto children's children,

And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy on their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Therefore the redeemed of Jehovah shall return and come with singing into Zion; and everlasting joy shall be on their head. Gladness and joy shall overtake them; sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

The sun shall no more be your light by day; nor the brightness of the moon give light to you; but Jehovah will be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory.

Your sun shall not go down any more, nor shall your moon withdraw itself; for Jehovah will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.

Instead of your shame you shall have double; and instead of reproach they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their own land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be theirs.

But Abraham said, Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented.

but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will not ever thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into eternal life.

And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may remain with you forever;

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

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

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is achieving for us a surpassing and eternal weight of glory,

while we do not contemplate the things which are seen, but the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.

who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

that the testing of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found unto praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not fall on them, nor any burning heat;

for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

And there shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

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

and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope.

For we were saved by hope, 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 wait for it with perseverance.

because of the hope being laid up for you in Heaven, of which you heard before in the Word of the Truth of the gospel,

if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under Heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father,

in hope of eternal life which God, who is without lie, promised before the beginning of time,

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

And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end,

that you do not become slothful, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters in within the veil,

For the Law made nothing perfect, but a 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 abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

who are kept by the power of God through faith unto 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 is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

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

But we believe through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved, in the same manner as they.

And when he was minded to cross to Achaia, the brethren wrote, encouraging the disciples to receive him; and when he arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;

Now to him who works, the wages are not counted according to grace but according to debt.

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

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

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

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