G2532–καί–kai

Paul, Silas, and Timothy: To the Church of the Thessalonians which is in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

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.

καὶ kai “and”

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.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

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.

καὶ kai “also”

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.

καὶ kai “and”

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.

καὶ kai “and”

They will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, being banished from the presence of the Lord and from His glorious majesty,

καὶ kai “and”

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.

καὶ kai “and”

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;

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

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!

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

But with respect to the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to meet Him, we entreat you, brethren,

καὶ kai “and”

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,

καὶ kai “and”

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.

καὶ kai “and”

And now you know what restrains him, in order that his true character may be revealed at his appointed time.

καὶ kai “And”

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.

καὶ kai “And”καὶ kai “and”

The appearing of the Lawless one will be attended by various miracles and tokens and delusive marvels--for so Satan works--

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

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.

καὶ kai “and”

And for this reason God sends them a misleading influence that they may believe the lie;

καὶ kai “And”

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.

καὶ kai “and”

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.

καὶ kai “also”

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.

καὶ kai “and”

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--

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

comfort your hearts and make you stedfast in every good work and word.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

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;

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”
