[2 Thessalonians 1]
1:1 Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the congregation of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 1:2 Grace to you* and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:3 We always ought to thank God concerning you* brethren, just-as it is worthy, because your*faith is growing substantially and the love* of each one of you* all toward one another is increasing; 1:4 so-that we ourselves boast in you* in the congregations of God on behalf of your*endurance and faith in all your* persecutions and in the afflictions which you* are tolerating. 1:5This is an example of the righteous judgment of God; *that* you* may be deemed worthy of the kingdom of God, on behalf of which you* are also suffering; 1:6 if indeed it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who are afflicting you*; 1:7 and to you* who are afflicted with us, a rest at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his messengers of power, 1:8 with flames of fire, giving vengeance to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey*the good-news of our Lord Jesus Christ, 1:9 who will suffer-punishment, the sentence of eternal utter-ruin away from the face of the Lord and away from the glory of his power, 1:10 whenever he may come to be glorified in his holy-ones and to be marveled at in all those who believed (because our testimony to you* was believed) in that day. 1:11 Also, toward this end, we are always praying concerning you*, that* our God might deem you* worthy of your* calling and might fulfill every delight of goodness and every work of faith, in power, 1:12 *that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ might be glorified in you* and you* in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
