2 Thessalonians 1

1 This letter comes from Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians who belong to God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Poul, and Siluan, and Tymothe, to the chirche of Tessalonicensis, in God oure fadir,

2 May you have grace and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

and in the Lord Jhesu Crist, grace to you and pees of God, oure fadir, and of the Lord Jhesu Crist.

3 We keep on thanking God for you, brothers and sisters—we just have to! This is the right thing to do because your trust in God is growing in leaps and bounds, and the love you all have for each other increases more and more.

We owen to do thankyngis eueremore to God for you, britheren, so as it is worthi, for youre feith ouer wexith, and the charite of ech of you to othere aboundith.

4 We speak so proudly of you among the churches of God because of your patient courage and trust in God during all the persecution and trouble you're going through.

So that we silf glorien in you in the chirchis of God, for youre pacience and feith in alle youre persecuciouns and tribulaciouns.

5 For this is evidence that God is right in the decisions he makes, and that you deserve the kingdom of God for which you are suffering.

Whiche ye susteynen in to the ensaumple of the iust dom of God, that ye be had worthi in the kingdom of God, for which ye suffren.

6 Since God does what's right he will deal appropriately with those who cause you trouble.

If netheles it is iust tofor God to quite tribulacioun to hem that troblen you,

7 He will free you from your suffering—and us too—when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels,

and to you that ben troblid, rest with vs in the schewing of the Lord Jhesu fro heuene, with aungelis of his vertu,

8 bringing judgment on those who reject God and refuse to accept the good news of our Lord Jesus.

in the flawme of fier, that schal yyue veniaunce to hem that knowen not God, and that obeien not to the euangelie of oure Lord Jhesu Crist.

9 They will rightly experience the consequence of eternal loss, separated from the presence of the Lord and his glorious power, (aiōnios g166)

Whiche schulen suffre euere lastinge peynes, in perischinge fro the face of the Lord, and fro the glorie of his vertu, (aiōnios g166)

10 on the day when he comes to receive glory from his people, admired by all those who trust in him. This includes you because you were convinced about what we told you.

whanne he schal come to be glorified in hise seyntis, and to be maad wondurful in alle men that bileueden, for oure witnessing is bileuyd on you, in that dai.

11 That's why we continue to pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of what he's called us to do. May God powerfully fulfill every desire you have to do good and every action that comes from trusting him

In which thing also we preien euere more for you, that oure God make you worthi to his cleping, and fille al the wille of his goodnesse, and the werk of feith in vertu;

12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be honored by what you do—and in turn you are honored by him through the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

that the name of oure Lord Jhesu Crist be clarified in you, and ye in hym, bi the grace of oure Lord Jhesu Crist.
