2 Thessalonians 1:1-7
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,
