The Restored Publisher Edition is a separate witness: the recovered publisher master of this book (the New Testament Editorial Master v05, recovered 2026-10-17), offered as a download alongside the reading text on this page — it is not the same text as the reading page. The master predates David’s Sacred Name rulings of 2026-10-11 and follows its earlier naming convention (God → Elohim; the title Lord → Sovereign; human lord → master); the reading page above follows the current rulings. The master’s own status: Matthew and Mark verified and frozen; Luke–Revelation contextual review pending.
Chapter 1
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in Yahweh our Father and Yeshua Messiah:
2 Grace unto you, and peace, from Yahweh our Father and Yeshua Messiah.
3 We are bound to thank Yahweh always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of Yahweh for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of Yahweh, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of Yahweh, for which ye also suffer:
6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with Yahweh to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when Yeshua shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not Yahweh, and that obey not the gospel of our Yeshua Messiah:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of Yeshua, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our Yahweh would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
12 That the name of our Yeshua Messiah may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our Yahweh and Yeshua Messiah.
Chapter 2
1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Yeshua Messiah, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Messiah is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called Yahweh, or that is worshipped; so that he as Yahweh sitteth in the temple of Yahweh, shewing himself that he is Yahweh.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom Yeshua shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause Yahweh shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to Yahweh for you, brethren beloved of Yeshua, because Yahweh hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Yeshua Messiah.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our Yeshua Messiah himself, and Yahweh, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
Chapter 3
1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of Yeshua may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
3 But Yeshua is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
4 And we have confidence in Yeshua touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
5 And Yeshua direct your hearts into the love of Yahweh, and into the patient waiting for Messiah.
6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Yeshua Messiah, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
8 Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
9 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Yeshua Messiah, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
16 Now Yeshua of peace himself give you peace always by all means. Yeshua be with you all.
17 The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.
18 The grace of our Yeshua Messiah be with you all. Amen.
