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 Sylvanus 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 be to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 We ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because increase greatly doth your faith, and abound doth the love of each one of you all, to one another;

We are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as it is right, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all toward each other abounds:

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

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

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

which endurance of yours is a proof of the righteous judgment of God, in order that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you suffer:

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

since, indeed, it is a righteous thing with God, to repay affliction to those who afflict 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 that are afflicted, rest with us, at the revelation of our Lord Jesus 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 flaming fire, to take vengeance on those who know not God, and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ;

9 who shall suffer justice — destruction age-during — from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his strength, (aiōnios g166)

these shall suffer punishment in that day, even eternal destruction, far 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 saints, and to be wondered at in 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 in all those who believe, and in you also, because our testimony among you was believed.

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

In order to which, we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of this calling, and may fulfill 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 ye 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 you in him, according to the grace of our God, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
