2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 We are indebted to thank God always about you, brothers, as it is fitting, because your faith is increasing greatly, and the love of each one of you all toward each other abounds.

We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly increasing and the love that each of you has for one another is abounding.

4 So as for us ourselves to have pride in you in the congregations of God, for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the tribulations that ye endure,

As a result we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your perseverance and faithfulness in all the persecutions and tribulations that you are enduring.

5 being evidence of the righteous judgment of God, for you to be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which also ye suffer.

This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, and it is happening so that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering.

6 Since it is a righteous thing according to God to repay restriction to those who restrict you,

It is indeed right for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

7 and relief with us, to you who are restricted, at the revealing of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his agents of power

and to give to you who are being afflicted relief along with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels.

8 in a fire of flame rendering vengeance to those who have not known God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ.

With flaming fire he will inflict vengeance on those who do not know God and who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

9 Men who will suffer punishment, a penalty of eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, (aiōnios g166)

They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, separated from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, (aiōnios g166)

10 when he comes to be glorified in his sanctified, and to be marveled in that day by all those who believe (because our testimony among you was believed).

on that day when he comes to be glorified by his saints and to be marveled at by all who have believed, including you, because you have believed our testimony.

11 For which also we pray always about you, so that our God will make you worthy of the calling, and will fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power.

With this in mind, we always pray for you that our God will make you worthy of his calling and by his power bring to fulfillment every good intention and work of faith,

12 So that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.
