+Book 53 2 Thessalonians
+001:001 Paul, Silas, and Timothy: To the Church of the Thessalonians
+ which is in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
+001:002 May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father
+ and the Lord Jesus Christ.
+001:003 Unceasing thanks are due from us to God on your behalf, brethren.
+ They are appropriate because your faith is growing greatly,
+ and the love of every one of you for all the others
+ goes on increasing.
+001:004 It so increases that we ourselves make honourable mention
+ of you among the Churches of God because of your patience
+ and faith amid all your persecutions and amid the afflictions
+ which you are enduring.
+001:005 For these are a plain token of God's righteous judgement, which has
+ in view your being deemed worthy of admission to God's Kingdom,
+ for the sake of which, indeed, you are sufferers.
+001:006 A plain token of God's righteous judgement, I say, since it
+ is a righteous thing for Him to requite with affliction
+ those who are now afflicting you;
+001:007 and to requite with rest you who are suffering affliction now--
+ rest with us at the re-appearing of the Lord Jesus from Heaven,
+ attended by His mighty angels.
+001:008 He will come in flames of fire to take vengeance on those
+ who have no knowledge of God, and do not obey the Good News
+ as to Jesus, our Lord.
+001:009 They will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, being banished
+ from the presence of the Lord and from His glorious majesty,
+001:010 when He comes on that day to be glorified in His people and to
+ be wondered at among all who have believed, including you--
+ because you believed the testimony which we brought
+ for your acceptance.
+001:011 It is with this view also that we continually pray to our God
+ for you, asking that He will count you worthy of His call,
+ and by His mighty power fully gratify your every desire
+ for what is truly good and make your work of faith complete;
+001:012 in order that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you,
+ and that you may be glorified in Him--so wonderful is the grace
+ of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ!
+002:001 But with respect to the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our
+ being gathered to meet Him, we entreat you, brethren,
+002:002 not readily to become unsettled in mind or troubled--
+ either by any pretended spiritual revelation or by any message
+ or letter claiming to have been sent by us--through fancying
+ that the day of the Lord is now here.
+002:003 Let no one in any way deceive you, for that day cannot come
+ without the coming of the apostasy first, and the appearing
+ of the man of sin, the son of perdition, who sets himself against,
+002:004 and exalts himself above, every so-called `god' or object of worship,
+ and goes the length of taking his seat in the very temple of God,
+ giving it out that he himself is God.
+002:005 Do you not remember that while I was still with you I used
+ to tell you all this?
+002:006 And now you know what restrains him, in order that his true
+ character may be revealed at his appointed time.
+002:007 For lawlessness is already at work in secret; but only until
+ the man who is now exercising a restraining influence is removed,
+002:008 and then the Lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus
+ will sweep away with the tempest of His anger, and utterly
+ overwhelm by the awful splendour of His Coming.
+002:009 The appearing of the Lawless one will be attended by various
+ miracles and tokens and delusive marvels--for so Satan works--
+002:010 and by every kind of wicked deception for those who are on
+ the way to perdition because they did not welcome into their
+ hearts the love of the truth, so that they might be saved.
+002:011 And for this reason God sends them a misleading influence
+ that they may believe the lie;
+002:012 in order that all may come under judgement who have refused
+ to believe the truth and have taken pleasure in unrighteousness.
+002:013 And from us thanks are always due to God on your behalf--
+ brethren whom the Lord loves--because God from the beginning
+ has chosen you for salvation through the Spirit's sanctifying
+ influence and your belief in the truth.
+002:014 To this blessing God has called you by our Good News, so that you
+ may have a share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
+002:015 So then, brethren, stand your ground, and hold fast to the
+ teachings which you have received from us, whether by word
+ of mouth or by letter.
+002:016 And may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself--and God our Father who has
+ loved us and has given us in His grace eternal consolation
+ and a bright hope--
+002:017 comfort your hearts and make you stedfast in every good
+ work and word.
+003:001 Finally, brethren, pray for us, asking that the Lord's Message
+ may be spread rapidly and its glory be displayed, as it was
+ displayed among you;
+003:002 and that we may be delivered from wrong-headed and wicked men;
+ for it is not everybody who has faith.
+003:003 But the Lord is faithful, and He will make you stedfast
+ and will guard you from the Evil one.
+003:004 And we have confidence in the Lord in regard to you that you
+ are doing, and will do, what we command.
+003:005 And may the Lord guide your hearts into the love of God
+ and into the patience of Christ.
+003:006 But, by the authority of the Lord, we command you, brethren, to stand
+ aloof from every brother whose life is disorderly and not
+ in accordance with the teaching which all received from us.
+003:007 For you yourselves know that it is your duty to follow our example.
+ There was no disorder in our lives among you,
+003:008 nor did we eat any one's bread without paying for it, but we
+ laboured and toiled, working hard night and day in order
+ not to be a burden to any of you.
+003:009 This was not because we had not a claim upon you, but it arose
+ from a desire to set you an example--for you to imitate us.
+003:010 For even when we were with you, we laid down this rule for you:
+ "If a man does not choose to work, neither shall he eat."
+003:011 For we hear that there are some of you who live disorderly
+ lives and are mere idle busybodies.
+003:012 To persons of that sort our injunction--and our command
+ by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ--is that they are
+ to work quietly and eat their own honestly-earned bread.
+003:013 But you, brethren, must not grow weary in the path of duty;
+003:014 and if any one refuses to obey these our written instructions,
+ mark that man and hold no communication with him--
+ so that he may be made to feel ashamed.
+003:015 And yet do not regard him as an enemy, but caution him
+ as a brother.
+003:016 And may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace
+ in every sense. The Lord be with you all.
+003:017 I Paul add the greeting with my own hand, which is the credential
+ in every letter of mine.
+003:018 This is my handwriting. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
+ be with you all.

+
+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:

+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.
