New American Standard Bible 1995
2 Thessalonians 1:3-5
3We ought always 1to give thanks to God for you, 2brethren, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly enlarged, and the 3love of each one of you toward one another grows ever greater;
4therefore, we ourselves 4speak proudly of you among 5the churches of God for your 6perseverance and faith 7in the midst of all your persecutions and afflictions which you endure.
5This is a 8plain indication of God’s righteous judgment so that you will be 9considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering.
