2 Thessalonians 1

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

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

3 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.

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith grows exceedingly, and the love (agape) of every one of you all toward each other abounds;

4 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.

So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that all of you endure:

5 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.

Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that all of you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which all of you also suffer:

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

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

7 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.

And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

8 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.

In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

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

Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; (aiōnios g166)

10 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.

When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

11 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,

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

12 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.

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