Grace be with you and peace from God oure father and from the Lorde Iesus Christ. 

We are bounde to thanke God all wayes for you brethren as it is mete because that youre fayth groweth excedyngly and every one of you swymmeth in love towarde another betwene youre selves 

so yt we oureselves reioyce of you in the congregacions of God over youre pacience and fayth in all youre persecucions and tribulacios that ye suffre 

which is a token of ye ryghtewes iudgemet of god that ye are counted worthy of the kyngdom of god for which ye also suffre. 

It is verely a rightewes thinge with God to recopence tribulacion to them that trouble you: 

and to you which are troubled rest with vs when the lorde Iesus shall shewe him silfe from heven with his myghty angels 

in flammynge fyre rendrynge vengeaunce vnto them that knowe not God and to them that obeye not vnto the gospell of oure Lorde Iesus Christ 

<section begin="1:9"/>which shalbe punysshed with everlastynge damnacion from the presence of the lorde and from the glory of his power <section end="1:9"/>

<section begin="1:10"/>when he shall come to be glorified in his sainctes and to be made marvelous in all them that beleve: because oure testimonye that we had vnto you was beleved eve the same daye that we preached it. <section end="1:10"/>

<section begin="1:11"/>Wherfore we praye all wayes for you that oure god make you worthy of the callynge and fulfill all delectacion of goodnes and the worke of fayth with power: <section end="1:11"/>

<section begin="1:12"/>that the name of oure lorde Iesus Christ maye be gloryfied in you and ye in him thorowe the grace of oure God and of the lorde Iesus Christ. <section end="1:12"/>

Chapter2 <section begin="1:1"/>We beseche you brethren by the commynge of oure lorde Iesu Christ and in that we shall assemble vnto him <section end="1:1"/>

<section begin="1:2"/>that ye be not sodely moved from youre mynde and be not troubled nether by sprete nether by wordes nor yet by letter which shuld seme to come from vs as though the daye of Christ were at honde. <section end="1:2"/>

<section begin="1:3"/>Let no ma deceave you by eny meanes for the lorde commeth not excepte ther come a departynge fyrst and that that synfnll man be opened ye sonne of perdicion <section end="1:3"/>

<section begin="1:4"/>which is an adversarie and is exalted above all that is called god or that is worshipped: so that he shall sitt as God in temple of god and shew him silfe as god. <section end="1:4"/>

<section begin="1:5"/> Remember ye not that when I was yet with you I tolde you these thynges? <section end="1:5"/>

<section begin="1:6"/>And nowe ye knowe what with holdeth: even that he myght be vttered at his tyme. <section end="1:6"/>

<section begin="1:7"/>For the mistery of that iniquitie doeth he all readie worke which onlie loketh vntill it be taken out of ye waye. <section end="1:7"/>

<section begin="1:8"/>And then shall that wicked be vttered whom the lorde shall consume with the sprete of hys mouth and shall destroye with the apearaunce of his commynge <section end="1:8"/>

<section begin="1:9"/>even him whose commynge is by the workynge of Satan wyth all lyinge power signes and wonders: <section end="1:9"/>

<section begin="1:10"/>and in all deceavablenes of vnrightewesnes amonge them that perysshe: because they receaved not the (love) of the truth that they myght have bene saved. <section end="1:10"/>

<section begin="1:11"/>And therfore god shall sende them stronge delusion that they shuld beleve lyes: <section end="1:11"/>

<section begin="1:12"/>that all they myght be damned which beleved not the trueth but had pleasure in vnrightewesnes. <section end="1:12"/>

<section begin="1:13"/>But we are bounde to geve thankes alwaye to god for you brethren beloved of the lorde for because that God hath from the begynnynge chosen you to saluacion thorow sanctifyinge of the sprete and thorowe belevynge the trueth: <section end="1:13"/>

<section begin="1:14"/>whervnto he called you byoure gospell to obtayne ye glorye that cometh of oure lord Iesu Christ. <section end="1:14"/>

<section begin="1:15"/>Therfore brethren stonde fast and kepe ye ordinaunces which ye have learned: whether it were by oure preachynge or by pistle. <section end="1:15"/>

<section begin="1:16"/>Oure lorde Iesu Christ hym silfe and God oure father which hath loved vs and hath geven vs everlastynge consolacion and good hope thorowe grace <section end="1:16"/>

<section begin="1:17"/>comforte youre hertes and stablysshe you in all doctrine and good doynge. <section end="1:17"/>
