2 Thessalonians 1

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

Παῦλος, καὶ Σιλουανὸς, καὶ Τιμόθεος· τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ Θεσσαλονικέων, ἐν ˚Θεῷ Πατρὶ ἡμῶν καὶ ˚Κυρίῳ ˚Ἰησοῦ ˚Χριστῷ:

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

χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ ˚Θεοῦ Πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ ˚Κυρίου ˚Ἰησοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ.

3 We ought to thank God always for you, brethren, as is fit, because your faith increaseth exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all toward each ether aboundeth;

Εὐχαριστεῖν ὀφείλομεν τῷ ˚Θεῷ πάντοτε περὶ ὑμῶν, ἀδελφοί, καθὼς ἄξιόν ἐστιν, ὅτι ὑπεραυξάνει ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν, καὶ πλεονάζει ἡ ἀγάπη ἑνὸς ἑκάστου, πάντων ὑμῶν, εἰς ἀλλήλους,

4 so that we ourselves glory in you among the churches of God, for your constancy and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions which ye endure;

ὥστε αὐτοὺς ἡμᾶς ἐν ὑμῖν ἐγκαυχᾶσθαι, ἐν ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ὑπὲρ τῆς ὑπομονῆς ὑμῶν, καὶ πίστεως ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς διωγμοῖς ὑμῶν, καὶ ταῖς θλίψεσιν αἷς ἀνέχεσθε,

5 an indication of the righteous judgment of God, by which ye will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye are also suffering;

ἔνδειγμα τῆς δικαίας κρίσεως τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, εἰς τὸ καταξιωθῆναι ὑμᾶς τῆς Βασιλείας τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ὑπὲρ ἧς καὶ πάσχετε,

6 since it will be just with God to repay distress to them that distress you,

εἴπερ δίκαιον παρὰ ˚Θεῷ, ἀνταποδοῦναι τοῖς θλίβουσιν ὑμᾶς θλῖψιν,

7 and to you the distressed rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be manifested from heaven, with the angels of his might,

καὶ ὑμῖν τοῖς θλιβομένοις, ἄνεσιν μεθʼ ἡμῶν ἐν τῇ ἀποκαλύψει τοῦ ˚Κυρίου ˚Ἰησοῦ ἀπʼ οὐρανοῦ, μετʼ ἀγγέλων δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ,

8 in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus;

ἐν πυρὶ φλογός διδόντος ἐκδίκησιν τοῖς μὴ εἰδόσι ˚Θεὸν, καὶ τοῖς μὴ ὑπακούουσιν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ τοῦ ˚Κυρίου ἡμῶν, ˚Ἰησοῦ, ˚Χριστοῦ·

9 who will be punished with everlasting destruction proceeding from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power, (aiōnios g166)

οἵτινες δίκην τίσουσιν ὄλεθρον αἰώνιον, ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ ˚Κυρίου, καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς δόξης τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ, (aiōnios g166)

10 when he shall come in that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all who believed; for our testimony to you was believed.

ὅταν ἔλθῃ ἐνδοξασθῆναι ἐν τοῖς ἁγίοις αὐτοῦ, καὶ θαυμασθῆναι ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς πιστεύσασιν, ὅτι ἐπιστεύθη τὸ μαρτύριον ἡμῶν ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ.

11 For which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and perfect [[in you]] all pleasure in goodness, and the work of faith, with power;

Εἰς ὃ καὶ προσευχόμεθα πάντοτε περὶ ὑμῶν, ἵνα ὑμᾶς ἀξιώσῃ τῆς κλήσεως ὁ ˚Θεὸς ἡμῶν, καὶ πληρώσῃ πᾶσαν εὐδοκίαν ἀγαθωσύνης, καὶ ἔργον πίστεως ἐν δυνάμει,

12 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 of the Lord Jesus Christ.

ὅπως ἐνδοξασθῇ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ ˚Κυρίου ἡμῶν, ˚Ἰησοῦ, ἐν ὑμῖν, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐν αὐτῷ, κατὰ τὴν χάριν τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἡμῶν καὶ ˚Κυρίου ˚Ἰησοῦ ˚Χριστοῦ.
