2 Thessalonians

2Th 1
Paulos, Silouanos, and Timotheos, to the called-out-assembly of the Thessalonians in the Mighty-Yoked-One our Family-Strengthener, and the Master Yahushuah Mashiyach: Favor to you and peace from the Mighty-Yoked-One our Family-Strengthener and the Master Yahushuah Mashiyach.
We are bound to always give thanks to the Mighty-Yoked-One for you, male-house-protectors, even as it is appropriate, because your faithfulness grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you towards one another abounds; so that we ourselves boast about you in the called-out-assemblies of the Mighty-Yoked-One for your patience and faithfulness in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure. This is an obvious sign of the straight-pathed judgment of the Mighty-Yoked-One, to the end that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of the Mighty-Yoked-One, for which you also suffer. Since it is a straight-pathed thing with the Mighty-Yoked-One to repay affliction to those who afflict you, and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us, when the Master Yahushuah is revealed from the sky with his mighty messengers in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those who don’t know the Mighty-Yoked-One, and to those who don’t listen to the functional news of our Master Yahushuah, who will pay the penalty: horizonal destruction from the face of the Master and from the esteem of his might, when he comes to be esteemed in his separated-ones, and to be admired among all those who have believed (because our testimony to you was believed) in that day.
To this end we also pray always for you, that our Mighty-Yoked-One may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of functionality and work of faithfulness, with power; that the name of our Master Yahushuah may be esteemed in you, and you in him, according to the favor of our Mighty-Yoked-One and the Master Yahushuah Mashiyach.
2Th 2
Now, male-house-protectors, concerning the presence of our Master Yahushuah Mashiyach, and our gathering together to him, we ask you not to be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by wind, or by word, or by letter as from us, saying that the day of Mashiyach had come. Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the departure comes first, and the man of the missed-target is revealed, the house-continuer of destruction, he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called the Mighty-Yoked-One or that is worshiped; so that he sits as the Mighty-Yoked-One in the temple of the Mighty-Yoked-One, setting himself up as the Mighty-Yoked-One. Don’t you remember that, when I was still with you, I told you these things? Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season. For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way. Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Master will kill with the wind of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his presence; even he whose presence is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be delivered. Because of this, the Mighty-Yoked-One sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie; that they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in path-desertedness. But we are bound to always give thanks to the Mighty-Yoked-One for you, male-house-protectors loved by the Master, because the Mighty-Yoked-One chose you from the beginning for deliverance through sanctification of the wind and belief in the truth; to which he called you through our functional news, for the obtaining of the esteem of our Master Yahushuah Mashiyach. So then, male-house-protectors, stand firm, and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word, or by letter.
Now our Master Yahushuah Mashiyach himself, and the Mighty-Yoked-One our Family-Strengthener, who loved us and gave us horizonal comfort and functional hope through favor, comfort your inner-guides and establish you in every functional work and word.
2Th 3
Finally, male-house-protectors, pray for us, that the word of the Master may spread rapidly and be esteemed, even as also with you; and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and dysfunctional men; for not all have faithfulness. But the Master is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the dysfunctional one. We have confidence in the Master concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we direct. May the Master guide your inner-guides into the love of the Mighty-Yoked-One, and into the patience of Mashiyach.
Now we direct you, male-house-protectors, in the name of our Master Yahushuah Mashiyach, that you withdraw yourselves from every male-house-protector who walks in rebellion, and not after the tradition which they received from us. For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we didn’t behave ourselves rebelliously among you, neither did we eat bread from anyone’s hand without paying for it, but in labor and travail worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you; not because we don’t have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us. For even when we were with you, we directed you this: If anyone will not work, neither let him eat. For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don’t work at all, but are busybodies. Now those who are that way, we direct and exhort in the Master Yahushuah Mashiyach, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
But you, male-house-protectors, don’t be weary in doing well. If any man doesn’t listen to our word in this letter, note that man, that you have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed. Don’t count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a male-house-protector.
Now may the Master of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Master be with you all.
The greeting of me, Paulos, with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter: this is how I write. The favor of our Master Yahushuah Mashiyach be with you all. I-secure-it.
