2 Thessalonians 1

Thanksgiving for Faith and Perseverance

11Paul and 2Silvanus and 3Timothy,

To the 4church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 25Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3We ought always 6to give thanks to God for you, 7brethren, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly enlarged, and the 8love of each one of you toward one another grows ever greater; 4therefore, we ourselves 9speak proudly of you among 10the churches of God for your 11perseverance and faith 12in the midst of all your persecutions and afflictions which you endure. 5This is a 13plain indication of God’s righteous judgment so that you will be 14considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering. 615For after all 16it is only just 17for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, 7and to give relief to you who are afflicted 18and to us as well 1920when the Lord Jesus will be revealed 21from heaven 22with 23His mighty angels 24in flaming fire, 8dealing out retribution to those who 25do not know God and to those who 26do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9These will pay the penalty of 27eternal destruction, 28away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10when He comes to be 29glorified 30in His 31saints on that 32day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed--for our 33testimony to you was believed. 11To this end also we 34pray for you always, that our God will 3536count you worthy of your 37calling, and fulfill every desire for 38goodness and the 39work of faith with power, 12so that the 40name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
