2Thess Chapter 1

Introduction 

The second letter follows after a few months by Paul, alongside Silas (Silvanus) and Timothy, about AD 51-52. It addresses issues around the judgment day of the Lord, in that, there must be the revealing of the lawless/loveless man first (2:2-10), so, nobody should be idle (3:6-15) and he closed the letter with the benediction, without usual one on one greetings. 

2 Thess 1

Paul thanked God for the growth of Faith and selfless-Love in the Church

1 Paul, and Silvanus (Silas) and Timothy, to the Churches of Thessalonians in the Lord Jesus Christ by our FATHER God.

2 Peace with God our FATHER, and Grace from the Lord Jesus Christ be unto you.

3 Brethren, we must express gratitude to God always, about you, just as it is worthy; for you are doing more in Faith and selfless-Love (agape) of each person has increased above ordinary degree to one another, even (from) one of you unto everybody. 

4 In so much that we boast of it in you, and among the churches of God; your cheerful-endurance in all tribulations and the persecutions which you bear for the sake of your Faith.

Assurance of the Glory of God in the final judgment (ref: book of Revelation given to John (the beloved)) 

5 An indication that, by fair/righteous judgment of God, you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for the sake of which you have suffered.

6 If perhaps, you, along side the Righteous who are being oppressed will be repaid by God for the afflictions;

7 there is a rest/relaxation amidst you with us, who are being oppressed; by the miraculous-Power of the Lord Jesus in the (book of) Revelation to His Messenger (John) from heaven.

8 in a blazing/flame of fire, vengeance will be given to those who do not know God, and to those who do not listen attentively to the gospel of our Lord, Jesus;

9 some of who will pay the price of eternal destruction as the right penalty, from the presence of the Lord, and from the strength of His Glory; 

10 whenever He will come, the holy saints will glorify Him in that day and be admired among all who have Faith, because they have faith upon our testimony to you, 

Paul always pray for the Saints

11 Unto which, we make prayer always for you and our labor on you to be fulfilled. And concerning everybody, at least to be counted worthy of the invitation for the beneficence/kindness, mighty deeds and good pleasure of God by Faith.

12 anyhow, our God will be glorified in the Name of our Lord, Jesus, in you, as you are in Him according to the Grace of the Lord, Jesus Christ.

2Thess Chapter 2

2 Thess 2

The last global apostasy, and proper view of the events in reference to the Book of Revelation

1 Moreover, I will interrogate you, brethren, upon the return of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and our gathering together for Him:

2 because, on account of the SPIRIT, to the intent of not being agitated; you are neither to be troubled, not even from your minds, neither through words, nor through letters as on our account; as though, the day of the Lord will be at hand quickly.

3 no one of you should be fully deceived by any means, because in case, apostasy (defection from Truth) has not come first, and the man of lawlessness (illegality) is revealed, even the child of damnation, - 

4 - who will oppose God and say things to exalt himself upon everybody, in so much that he will settle down in the temple of God, unto showing off himself that he were God or someone of respect/reverence as God.

5 didn't you remember that, I spoke towards these things, (while) I was still with you?

6 hold fast unto it, even now that you are aware of the one to be revealed, in its own time.

7 for, the mystery of the one of lawlessness is working already; it is only held down fast, from now, till it comes into being from the centre (middle part: Jerusalem). (Rev13) 

8 And at the time, the lawless man (loveless man) shall be revealed, whom at the return of the Lord Jesus, iT will be taken away/annihilated by things of His mouth, and at His appearance/epiphany, the SPIRIT will abolish/annul iT (Rev 19:15,19,20)

9 the advent/presence of whom is according to the ability/working of satan, in all (magical) powers and signs, and lies and wonders. (Rev 13)

10 and all (people), who do not accept the Truth of SELFLESS-LOVE unto saving them, will instead, perish by deception in wrongdoings;

11 And because of this one of delusion and lies, We are dispatched by God with operation/energy unto having faith;

12 at least, everybody who do not believe the Truth, but delight in wrongdoings will be judged.

Stand firm and stay encouraged

13 However, Brethren, we must worship/give thanks to God always concerning you, the Beloved of the Lord, for you are preferred under God, from early stage by Faith in the Truth unto salvation and purity/sanctification by the SPIRIT.

14 and unto which you are called-forth through us, by the gospel, unto acquisition of the Glory (with) our Lord, Jesus Christ.

15 Therefore, Brethren, ara (heartfelt desire lifted to heaven), stand firm, and lay hold on to the transmitted things/handed down precepts, which you were taught, whether through words, or through our letters.

16 So, by the Grace of the Lord, Jesus Christ, even our FATHER God, WHO selflessly Love us, will give us HIS good things and support/encouragement for ages in our pleasurable hope.

17 and by (my) words, encourage your hearts, even to be resolutely set firm for good works.

2Thess Chapter 3

2 Thess 3

Prayer points of Paul in this end time 

1 The remaining thing, Brethren, make prayer concerning us, at least to run with the words, just as towards you; and for the Supreme Lord to be glorified.

2 and at least, men shall be rescued from the evil and strange things, because, not everybody are of Faith.

3 however, the Supreme Lord is faithful, WHO will set you firm and will keep you from the vicious ones.

4 So, we are persuaded in the Lord, over you, because what we have commanded, you are doing and will be doing,

5 no doubt, the Lord has directed/guided your heart unto selfless-Love of God, and unto hopeful-endurance in Christ.

Warning against idleness 

6 Also, we enjoin you, in the Name of the Lord, Jesus Christ, brethren; withdraw away from all brothers who walk disorderly, and not according to the handed-down precepts you receive alongside us . 

7 For, you know how it is necessary to imitate us, because we did not misbehave within you;

8 we never eat bread from anyone freely, but by labouring and toiling, working, day and night, towards not being burdensome to anyone of you.

9 Not because we do not have the authority, but at least to give ourselves as examples unto you, to imitate.

10 for even, when we were with you, we enjoined you on this thing, that, someone should not even eat, if he does not desire to work.

11 We hear of some persons within you, walking around disorderly, by not working, but are nosey/meddling around. 

12 Howbeit, to these kind, we enjoin and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, at least to work amid quietness, eating their own bread.

13 But, brethren, you should not be weakened-out in doing well;

14 however, if anyone does not obey our speech, through the letter, mark this one, never to mix together with him, at least he will revert.

15 And not to lead/govern (hegeomai) over him like enemy, but to admonish him as a brother.

16 Moreover, Peace with the Supreme Lord will give him Peace, through all your mode/style among everybody. The Supreme Lord be with you all.

Grace with no usual individual greetings

17 I am Paul with greetings - which is an indication/sign in all letters, written by my hand in this way.

18 The Grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ, be with you all. + Amen.+
