Paul's Second Letter to the Thessalonians
1:1Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy,
To the assembly of the Thessalonians in God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:
1:2Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:3We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because
your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you towards one another
abounds; 1:4so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God for your patience and
faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure. 1:5This is an obvious sign of
the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of
God, for which you also suffer. 1:6Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those
who afflict you, 1:7and to give relief to you that are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is
revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, 1:8giving vengeance to those who
don't know God, and to those who don't obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus, 1:9who will pay the
penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might, 1:10when he
comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired among all those who have believed (because
our testimony to you was believed) in that day. 1:11To this end we also pray always for you, that our
God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith,
with power; 1:12that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according
to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
