Brothers and sisters, I beg you to accept my word. It tells you to be faithful. Accept my word because I have written to you only a short letter.

When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad. He told them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.

Brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the good news I preached to you. You received it and have put your faith in it.

Silas, Timothy and I preached to you about the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Our message did not say“ Yes” and“ No” at the same time. The message of Christ has always been“ Yes.”

But my life means nothing to me. My only goal is to finish the race. I want to complete the work the Lord Jesus has given me. He wants me to tell others about the good news of God’s grace.

I, Paul, am writing this letter. Silas and Timothy join me in writing. We are sending this letter to you, the members of the church in Thessalonica. You belong to God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be given to you.

I, Paul, am writing this letter. Silas and Timothy join me in writing. We are sending this letter to you, the members of the church in Thessalonica. You belong to God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I’m talking about the mystery God showed me. I have already written a little about it.

Tychicus is a dear brother. He is faithful in serving the Lord. He will tell you everything about me. Then you will know how I am and what I am doing.

Dear friends, I really wanted to write to you about the salvation we share. But now I feel I should write and ask you to stand up for the faith. God’s holy people were trusted with it once and for all time.

Your faith is not under our control. You remain strong in your own faith. But we work together with you for your joy.

Tychicus will tell you all the news about me. He is a dear brother. He is a faithful worker. He serves the Lord together with us.

So I will always remind you of these things. I’ll do it even though you know them. I’ll do it even though you now have deep roots in the truth.

But suppose even we should preach a different“ good news.” Suppose even an angel from heaven should preach it. Suppose it is different from the good news we gave you. Then let anyone who does that be cursed by God.I have already said it. Now I will say it again. Suppose someone preaches a“ good news” that is different from what you accepted. That person should be cursed by God.

They have left God’s way. They have wandered off. They follow the way of Balaam, son of Beor. He loved to get paid for doing his evil work.

Through faith in Jesus we have received God’s grace. In that grace we stand. We are full of joy because we expect to share in God’s glory.

He is coming with Onesimus, our faithful and dear brother. He is one of you. They will tell you everything that is happening here.

You learned the good news from Epaphras. He is dear to us. He serves Christ together with us. He faithfully works for Christ and for us among you.
