1Now concerning how and when all this will happen, dear brothers and sisters, we don’t really need to write you. 9For God chose to save us through our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out his anger on us. 18Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. 27I command you in the name of the Lord to read this letter to all the brothers and sisters. 28May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
