The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. 2 Thessalonians Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
A shrill whistle here interrupted his discourse, and a voice shouted: "What blessings? We know of none." But Timotheus was not to be checked, and went on more vehemently "All of you who, by the grace of Caesar, have been made Roman citizens "
