2 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:

PAUL, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ:

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

grace unto you and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 We always ought to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as it is fitting, because your faith increases greatly, and the love of each one of you all abounds to one another,

We are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is fit, because your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all towards each other aboundeth:

4 so that we ourselves glory in you in the assemblies of God, for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you bear—

so that we ourselves make our boast of you among the churches of God, for your patience and fidelity under all your persecutions and afflictions which ye endure:

5 a token of the righteous judgment of God, for your being counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you also suffer,

which is a manifest proof of the righteous judgment of God, that ye should be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

6 since [it is] a righteous thing with God to give back to those troubling you—tribulation,

seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

7 and to you who are troubled—rest with us in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from Heaven, with messengers of His power,

and to you who are troubled, rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ from heaven with his mighty angels,

8 in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those not knowing God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ,

in a flame of fire, taking vengeance of them that know not God, and obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

9 who will suffer justice—continuous destruction—from the face of the LORD, and from the glory of His strength, (aiōnios g166)

who shall receive punishment, even eternal perdition, from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power: (aiōnios g166)

10 when He may come to be glorified in His holy ones, and to be wondered at by all those believing—because our testimony was believed among you—in that day;

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

11 for which we also always pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfill all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of faith in power,

Wherefore also we pray continually for you, that our God would count you worthy of the calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

12 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.

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