+ +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.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements.

To SEND +DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular +state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses.

Thus, we do not +necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper +edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search +facility: www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + diff --git a/8841.zip b/8841.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..3f197b4 --- /dev/null +++ b/8841.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.

+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. + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, 2 Thessalonians *** + +This file should be named wnt1410.txt or wnt1410.zip +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks get a new NUMBER, wnt1411.txt +VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, wnt1410a.txt + +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.
