Chapter 2
The Messiah’s Coming
1 - 12
Moreover, we ask and beg, entreat and question, request, enquire and beseech all of you, brothers and fellow brethren, on behalf of and for the sake of, concerning and about, on account of and in view of, with reference to and for the presence and advent, coming and arrival of the Sovereign Master*, Yahushua* the Anointed Messiah*, and our being assembled and gathered together to meet with Him, that all of you not be quickly or shortly, at once or speedily shaken or disturbed, caused to tremble or waver, totter or quake, rock to and fro or be agitated, distressed or upset from your understanding and knowledge, judgement and reason, thoughts and opinions, feelings and desires, mind and insights, perceptions and apprehensions, inclinations, consciousness and composure, nor to become disturbed or alarmed, startled or frightened, terrorized or cry out loud, either through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of a spirit*, or through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of a word or saying, message or statement, declaration or thought, instruction or teaching, decree, mandate or matter, nor through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of a letter or epistle intending to be as coming from or via us, to the effect that it is saying that concerning this, the Day and Time of the Sovereign Master* has come and is present, here and imminent. Do not let any certain person thoroughly deceive or completely delude, seduce, entice or beguile any of you in accordance with or with regards to, in relation to or with respect to any sort or kind of manner or way, fashion or means, mode or guise. For concerning this, that day will not come unless and except the revolt and desertion, defection and abandonment, apostasy and rebellion, falling away and departure may come, arise and appear first of all and chiefly, principally and most importantly, and the man of lawlessness, the person who openly, publically and willing disobeys and violates the Torah, treating the Torah with contempt and opposition, may be revealed and disclosed, laid bare and shown, uncovered and manifested, the son of complete and utter destruction and ruin, waste and obliteration, annihilation and perdition, he who opposes and is hostile towards, adverse to and withstands and lifts himself over, exalts himself and proudly set himself above, over and against every individual and collective thing being said and taught, maintained and affirmed, directed and called, advised and pointed out as “god,” or object of veneration, worship and honour, so that and therefore, for this reason and as a result of this, he himself seats himself and dwells, stays, resides and places himself within and inside the Sacred Place and Temple of God*, publically showing and displaying, exhibiting and demonstrating, constituting and exposing himself, declaring that concerning this, he himself is and exists as God*. Do you all not remember, recall to your mind and are not mindful that concerning this, when I still and yet was and existed with all of you for your advantage, I was saying and teaching, maintaining and exhorting, advising and directing, affirming and pointing out all these things to all of you? And now, at this present time, all of you see and perceive, observe and witness, know and experience, recognise and respect, understand and take note of, comprehend and discern, pay attention to and discover, notice and examine, inspect and behold of what is holding fast to him and detaining, retaining and keeping him secure, possessing and restraining, containing and suppressing, keeping him in check and hindering him, so that and for the purpose of making sure that he is revealed and disclosed, laid bare and shown, uncovered and manifested in, by and at his own favourable and opportune time, age and season. Affirming and confirming this, the mystery and secret of lawlessness, the willing disobedience and violation of the Torah, treating the Torah with contempt and opposition now and already operates and works, acts, functions and is being active and effective. Only and merely he alone who now, at this present moment in time, holds fast to it and detains, retains and keeps it secure, possesses and restrains, contains and suppresses, keeps it in check and hinders it will do up until the time when he may come, arise and appear as out of the way, and then, at that time, the lawless and wicked, godless, transgressor and impious one shall be revealed and disclosed, laid bare and shown, uncovered and manifested, whom the Sovereign Master*, Yahushua*, shall kill and take away, do away with and remove, abolish and destroy through the breath and Spirit* of His mouth, and whom He shall destroy and abolish, invalidate and put to an end, render useless and ineffective, idle and inactive, severe and terminate, separate and annul by the appearance and demonstration, glory and magnificence, splendour and manifesting of His presence and advent, coming and arrival. The presence and advent, coming and arrival of him, the lawless one, is and exists according to with regards to, in relation to and because of the operation and work, action and the active and effective function of the Adversary, Satan*, by, with and through all individual and collective kinds of lying and false, deceitful and perverse, fictitious and pretentious, untrue and fabricated miraculous powers and wonders, mighty deeds and supernatural capabilities, and signs and marks, tokens and prodigies, indications and distinguishing characteristics, signals and portents, and marvels and amazing ‘experiences’, and in, with and through all individual and collective unjust and unrighteous, wicked and wrong, evil and fraudulent, false and unreliable, untrustworthy, undependable and deceitful deceit and deception, trickery and enticement, temptation and seductive delusion for those who are being destroyed and ruined, annihilated and rendered useless, lost and abolished, wasted and caused to perish and pass away, for the reason that and because, as a result of and in exchange for the fact that they did not welcome or embrace, favourably receive or accept, take or grasp, approve of or endure the love and affection, good will, esteem and benevolence of the reality and disclosure, expression and certainty, uprightness and dependableness, genuineness and reliability, fact, sincerity and honesty of truth that was for and on behalf of delivering and preserving, saving and keeping them from danger and destruction, ruin and annihilation. So, through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of this certain thing, God* sends and dismisses, dispatches, orders and commissions to all them an operating and working, acting, functioning and active and effective deceit and deception, trickery and enticement, temptation and seductive delusion, for and with the result that they place their trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the lie and deceit, purposefully misleading precept and intentionally created and preached falsehood, myth and perverse idea and fallacy, so that and in order all those, individually and collectively, who did not place their trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the reality and disclosure, expression and certainty, uprightness and dependableness, genuineness and reliability, fact, sincerity and honesty of the truth, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, were pleased and delighted with, had taken pleasure in and considered to be good, who willingly determined and decided, preferred and favourably chose what was unjust and unrighteous, wicked and wrong, evil and fraudulent, false and unreliable, untrustworthy, undependable and deceitful may be separated and sundered, made distinctions between and disputed, debated and taken issue with, discriminated and have their destination determined, contented and differentiated, decided and evaluated, assessed and judged.

On the other hand, however, we ought to and are indebted to, obligated and is proper, are bound to and it is our duty to always and at all times give thanks and extolment, celebration and praise to God* about and concerning, regarding and on account of, because of and with respect to all of you, brothers and fellow brethren who are dearly loved and welcomed, entertained and looked fondly upon, cherished with strong affection and highly esteemed with great favour, goodwill and benevolence, been loyal to and greatly adored by Yahuweh*, for concerning this, God* chose and took, selected and grasped all of you, the Firstfruits and first offering for and on behalf of deliverance and preservation, salvation and safety in, by and through the separation and cleanliness, purification, sanctification and set-apartness of the Spirit*, and through the placing of trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the reality and disclosure, expression and certainty, uprightness and dependableness, genuineness and reliability, fact, sincerity and honesty of the truth, for and on behalf of which He also called and summoned, addressed and invited all of you through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of our good news, glad tiding and message, proclamation and victorious declaration for and on behalf of the possession and preservation, keeping and saving, acquisition and obtainment of the glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty of our Sovereign Master*, Yahushua* the Anointed Messiah*. So then and therefore, accordingly, consequently and these things being so, brothers and fellow brethren, stand upright and firm, steadfast and established, fixed and unmoveable, upheld and sustained, maintained and authorised, and hold onto and grasp, carefully keep and retain, cleave onto and do not let go of the teachings and expositions, doctrines and dogmas, instructions and precepts which all of you were taught, explained and instructed in through discourses and discussions, whether through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of a word or saying, message or statement, declaration or thought, instruction or teaching, decree, mandate or matter, or through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of one of our letters or epistles. Now, our Sovereign Master*, Yahushua* the Anointed Messiah* Himself, and our God* and Father*, He Who has dearly loved and welcomed, entertained and looked fondly upon, cherished with strong affection and highly esteemed with great favour, goodwill and benevolence, been loyal to and greatly adored us and Who had given and granted, supplied and furnished, bestowed and delivered, committed and permitted, extended and presented us with eternal and everlasting, unceasing and never-ending exhortation and encouragement, admonition and consolation, comfort and solace, and good and pleasant, excellent and distinguished, useful and right, beneficial and fine, perfect and fitting, upright and worthy, admirable and satisfactory, pure and dependable, virtuous and honourable hope and expectation, confidence and trust in, by and through favour and joy, delight and thanks, glory and charm, goodwill and sweetness, pleasure and the gift of merciful and loving kindness, may He exhort and encourage, admonish and console, comfort and give solace to all of your hearts, your circulation of life that controls your desires and feelings, affections and endeavours, wills and characters, passions and impulses, and strengthen and establish, fix and confirm, stabilise and set, place and settle them, making them immovable in, with and through every individual and collective good and pleasant, excellent and distinguished, useful and right, beneficial and fine, perfect and fitting, upright and worthy, admirable and satisfactory, pure and dependable, virtuous and honourable work and business, employment and undertaking, act and deed, task and labour, action and accomplishment, and word and saying, message and statement, declaration and thought, instruction and teaching, decree, mandate and matter.

Finally, what remains to be said, brothers and fellow brethren, please pray and request, petition, plead and communicate with the Supreme One about and concerning, regarding and on account of, because of and with respect to us, so that and in order that the Word and saying, message and statement, declaration and thought, instruction and teaching, decree, mandate and matter of the Sovereign Master* may rush forward and advance, progress freely and spread rapidly, and may be given glory and splendour, magnificence and excellence, pre-eminence and dignity, brightness, favour and majesty, just as and exactly as it did also among and through all of you, and so that and in order that we may be saved and delivered, rescued, drawn and snatched away from improper and wrong, unrighteous and criminal, absurd and unreasonable, and evil and troublesome, sorrowful and poor, pitiable and unfit, unattractive and useless, worthless and morally reprehensible, morally corrupt and wicked, annoying and unethical, diseased and blind, perilous and criminal, vicious and malignant, harmful and incompetent, bad and wretched, pernicious and noxious men. Affirming and confirming this, not everyone, individually and collectively, has trust and reliance, obedience and confidence, certainty and guarantee, assurance and dependence in the Supreme One, but nevertheless, the Sovereign Master* is and exists as trustworthy and reliable, obedient and dependable, genuine and true, real and is worthy to have certainty and guarantee, assurance and confidence placed in Him, He Who strengthens and establishes, fixes and confirms, stabilises and sets, places and settles all of you, making all of you immovable, and Who guards and keeps all of you safe, protects and watches over, observes and preserves, cares for and pays attention to, defends and maintains, cherishes and clings to, saves and holds fast to all of you, separating all of you from the evil and troublesome, sorrowful and poor, pitiable and unfit, unattractive and useless, worthless and morally reprehensible, morally corrupt and wicked, annoying and unethical, diseased and blind, perilous and criminal, vicious and malignant, harmful and incompetent, bad and wretched, pernicious and noxious one. Moreover, we have been persuaded and convinced to obey and listen to, comply with and have our confidence and trust, reliance and dependence placed in, by and with Yahuweh* over, on behalf of and on the basis of all of you, that concerning this, all of you both presently do and perform, accomplish and execute, practise and bring about, undertake and create, keep and carry out, construct and establish, form and produce, appoint and ordain, celebrate and constitute, and shall also continue to do and perform, accomplish and execute, practise and bring about, undertake and create, keep and carry out, construct and establish, form and produce, appoint and ordain, celebrate and constitute what we enjoin and order, charge and command, declare and announce, recommend and exhort, summon and instruct, direct and encourage. And may the Sovereign Master* make straight and guide, direct and lead, set right and remove any hindrances from each of your hearts, your circulation of life that controls your desires and feelings, affections and endeavours, wills and characters, passions and impulses, on behalf of and to the brotherly love and affection, good will, esteem and benevolence of God*, and on behalf of and to the consistency and steadfast endurance, cheerful loyalty and load carrying capability, perseverance and patience of the Anointed Messiah*.
Do Your Own Work
6 - 15
Continuing on, brothers and fellow brethren, we enjoin and order, charge and command, declare and announce, recommend and exhort, summon and instruct, direct and encourage all of you in, by and through the personal and proper name and title, character and person, reputation and authority of our Sovereign Master*, Yahushua* the Anointed Messiah*, that each of you tries to avoid and steer clear of, be on guard against and keep away from, shrink back and withdraw yourselves from every individual and collective brother and fellow brethren who is walking and behaving, living, conducting and regulating their lives, works and actions unbridled and unseemly, undisciplined and without order or plan, irresponsibly and unruly, inordinately and immoderately, lawlessly and immorally, negligently and insubordinately, idly and irregularly, lazily and in a disorderly manner, and not in accordance with and with regards to, in relation to and with respect to the teaching and exposition, doctrine and dogma, instruction and precept that they took along and brought, learned and accepted, received and ascertained, associated with and acknowledged coming from us, in our presence. For this reason, all of you yourselves see and perceive, observe and witness, know and experience, recognise and respect, understand and take note of, comprehend and discern, pay attention to and discover, notice and examine, inspect and behold how and in what manner and way it is necessary and behoves, right and proper, inevitable and binding, fitting and destined, ordained and prescribed, suitable and beneficial to imitate and mimic, follow and emulate us, for concerning this, we were not irresponsible or idly, lazy or lawless, disorderly or neglectful, rebellious or undisciplined, inappropriate or unbridled in our behaviour in, with and among all of you, neither did we eat, devour or consume from any certain persons bread and provision as a free gift, freely or without paying for it, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, in, by and with labour and work, trouble and wearisome effort, fatigue and exertion, and hardship and distress, struggle and strenuous toil we were accomplishing and executing, bringing about and constructing, producing and performing, practising and carrying out, establishing, acquiring and enforcing work night and day, to the advantage of not causing a burden or pressing too heavily, loading, troubling or weighing any of you down with financial problems. Not because we do not have or hold, acquire or receive, own or possess the power or might, ability or capability, force or influence, authority or significance, competence or excellence, privilege or freedom, liberty or that we did not have the right, permission and strength to do so, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, so that and with the result that we gave and granted, supplied and furnished, bestowed and delivered, committed and permitted, extended and presented to all of you our own figure and form, image and substance, pattern and model, character and impression, shape and mould, outline and type, kind and style, design and content, representation and example, on behalf of and so that all of you would have us to imitate and mimic, follow and emulate. Affirming and confirming this, even at the time when and whenever we were and existed together with all of you for your advantage, we enjoined and ordered, charged and commanded, declared and announced, recommended and exhorted, summoned and instructed, directed and encouraged all of you with this, that concerning this, “If or whether some certain person does not want or wish, prefer or aim, intend, will or desire to accomplish or execute, bring about or construct, establish or do, produce or perform, practise or carry out, acquire or enforce any work or trade, do not let that person eat, devour or consume food.” Yet, however, we hear and attend to, consider and understand, comprehend and perceive, pay attention to and listen to reports that some certain persons in, with and among all of you are walking and behaving, living, conducting and regulating their lives, works and actions unbridled and unseemly, undisciplined and without order or plan, irresponsibly and unruly, inordinately and immoderately, lawlessly and immorally, negligently and insubordinately, idly and irregularly, lazily and in a disorderly manner, accomplishing and executing, bringing about and constructing, producing and performing, practising and carrying out, establishing, acquiring and enforcing not a single work or trade, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, are being busybodies and bustling about uselessly, wasting their time with lavish and needless expenses, being preoccupied with trifling matters and meddling in other’s personal affairs. Now, to people such and these, in, by and through the Sovereign Master*, Yahushua* the Anointed Messiah* we enjoin and order, charge and command, declare and announce, recommend and exhort, summon and instruct, direct and encourage, and exhort and implore, admonish and console, beg and urge, earnestly ask and beseech them, so that and in order that together with quiet and tranquil accomplishing and executing, bringing about and constructing, producing and performing, practising and carrying out, establishing, acquiring and enforcing work and trade, they may then eat, devour and consume their own bread and provision that they have earned. Moreover, brothers and fellow brethren, as for all of you, do not grow weary or lose heart, give up or become discouraged, lose enthusiasm or become exhausted of were doing and performing, accomplishing and executing, practising and bringing about, undertaking and creating, keeping and carrying out, constructing and establishing, forming and producing, appointing and ordaining, celebrating and constituting what is good and pleasant, excellent and fine, useful and beneficial, nice and salutary, upright and worthy, admirable and commendable, precious and genuine, flawless and lovely, virtuous, beautiful and honourable. If or whether some certain person does not listen to or obey, yield or pay attention to, surrender or hearken to, submit or become subject to our word and saying, message and statement, declaration and thought, instruction and teaching, decree, mandate and matter that comes through the means of and on the grounds of, on account of and for the reason of, on the basis of and because of this certain specific letter and epistle, denote and signify, mark and distinguish, stamp and publically identify that that person is not to be mixed or mingled, associated or have fellowship with, so that and in order that that person may be ashamed, embarrassed and reproved. But do not think or consider, seem or deem, reckon or regard that person to be as, like and similar to an opponent or accuser, enemy or adversary, but nevertheless, notwithstanding and on the contrary, actively admonish and warn, rebuke and instruct, exhort and give advice to that person as, like and similar to a brother and fellow brethren.
Final Greeting

Now, may the Sovereign Master* of peace and tranquillity, harmony and concord, security and safety, exemption from chaos, prosperity and freedom, felicity and the assurance of salvation Himself give and grant, supply and furnish, bestow and deliver, commit and permit, extend and present to each of you the peace and tranquillity, harmony and concord, security and safety, exemption from chaos, prosperity and freedom, felicity and the assurance of salvation through and via every individual and collective time and affair, and in, with and through every individual and collective turn and direction, manner and way, fashion and means. May the Sovereign Master* be together with all of you, individually and collectively. I, Paul, write this greeting and salutation in my own hand, which is and exists as the sign and mark, token and signal, indication and distinguishing characteristic of genuineness in, by and with each and every individual and collective letter and epistle. Therefore, in this manner and way, thus and so, I write and inscribe, record and compose: May the peace and tranquillity, harmony and concord, security and safety, exemption from chaos, prosperity and freedom, felicity and the assurance of salvation of our Sovereign Master*, Yahushua* the Anointed Messiah*, be together with all of you, individually and collectively.
