2 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul, Silvanus and Timothy, to the congregation of the Thessalonians in God our Father and Sovereign Jesus Christ:

Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the Church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

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

3 We are obligated to always give thanks to God about you, brothers, and properly so, because your faith is really growing, and the love of each and every one of you towards each other keeps increasing;

We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as it is worthy, because your faith increases, and the divine love of each one of you all towards one another abounds more and more;

4 so that we ourselves boast about you among God's congregations, referring to your steadfastness and faith in the midst of all your persecutions, and the tribulations that you are enduring

so that we ourselves rejoice over you in the churches of God, on account of your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations which you endure;

5 —the above is evidence that God's judgment is right, to the end that you be considered worthy of the Kingdom of God, on behalf of which you are actually suffering;

the manifestation of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you indeed suffer:

6 since to God it is right to pay back affliction to those who are afflicting you

if indeed it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them who are troubling you,

7 and rest (along with us) to you who are being afflicted, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with His powerful angels in blazing fire,

and to you who are troubled, rest with us, in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power

8 inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ,

in the fire of flame, dispensing vengeance to those who know not God, and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus:

9 who will pay a penalty: everlasting ruin, away from the face of the Lord and from the glory of His might, (aiōnios g166)

who shall suffer vengeance, eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might, (aiōnios g166)

10 whenever He comes to be glorified by His saints, yes to be marveled at by all who have believed (because our testimony to you was believed); in that Day.

when he may come to be glorified among his saints, and among all those who believe, to be wondered at in that day, because our testimony was believed by you.

11 To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling and fulfill with power every desire of usefulness and work of faith,

Unto which indeed we are praying incessantly for you, in order that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness and work of faith, with power;

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

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