+Book 53 2 Thessalonians
+001:001 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians
+        in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:
+001:002 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
+001:003 We are bound to always give thanks to God for you,
+        brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context
+        allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters"
+        or "siblings."} even as it is appropriate, because your faith
+        grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you
+        towards one another abounds;
+001:004 so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God
+        for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in
+        the afflictions which you endure.
+001:005 This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God,
+        to the end that you may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God,
+        for which you also suffer.
+001:006 Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction
+        to those who afflict you,
+001:007 and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us,
+        when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty
+        angels in flaming fire,
+001:008 giving vengeance to those who don't know God, and to those
+        who don't obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,
+001:009 who will pay the penalty:  eternal destruction from the face
+        of the Lord and from the glory of his might,
+001:010 when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired
+        among all those who have believed (because our testimony
+        to you was believed) in that day.
+001:011 To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may
+        count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire
+        of goodness and work of faith, with power;
+001:012 that the name of our Lord Jesus{TR adds "Christ"} may be
+        glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace
+        of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
+002:001 Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
+        and our gathering together to him, we ask you
+002:002 not to be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled,
+        either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us,
+        saying that the day of Christ had come.
+002:003 Let no one deceive you in any way.  For it will not be,
+        unless the departure comes first, and the man of sin is revealed,
+        the son of destruction,
+002:004 he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called
+        God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the temple
+        of God, setting himself up as God.
+002:005 Don't you remember that, when I was still with you, I told
+        you these things?
+002:006 Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may
+        be revealed in his own season.
+002:007 For the mystery of lawlessness already works.  Only there
+        is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.
+002:008 Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill
+        with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation
+        of his coming;
+002:009 even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan
+        with all power and signs and lying wonders,
+002:010 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 saved.
+002:011 Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they
+        should believe a lie;
+002:012 that they all might be judged who didn't believe the truth,
+        but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
+002:013 But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you,
+        brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the
+        beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit
+        and belief in the truth;
+002:014 to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining
+        of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
+002:015 So then, brothers, stand firm, and hold the traditions which you
+        were taught by us, whether by word, or by letter.
+002:016 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved
+        us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,
+002:017 comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.
+003:001 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord
+        may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you;
+003:002 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men;
+        for not all have faith.
+003:003 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard
+        you from the evil one.
+003:004 We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both
+        do and will do the things we command.
+003:005 May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God,
+        and into the patience of Christ.
+003:006 Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
+        that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks
+        in rebellion, and not after the tradition which they
+        received from us.
+003:007 For you know how you ought to imitate us.  For we didn't behave
+        ourselves rebelliously among you,
+003:008 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;
+003:009 not because we don't have the right, but to make ourselves
+        an example to you, that you should imitate us.
+003:010 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this:
+        "If anyone will not work, neither let him eat."
+003:011 For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don't
+        work at all, but are busybodies.
+003:012 Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the
+        Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat
+        their own bread.
+003:013 But you, brothers, don't be weary in doing well.
+003:014 If any man doesn't obey our word in this letter, note that man,
+        that you have no company with him, to the end that he
+        may be ashamed.
+003:015 Don't count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
+003:016 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times
+        in all ways.  The Lord be with you all.
+003:017 The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand, which is the sign
+        in every letter:  this is how I write.
+003:018 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.  Amen.

+
+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our Web sites at:
+https://gutenberg.org or
+http://promo.net/pg
+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
+Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
+eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
+indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
