II Thessalonians 1

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

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

³We ought to give thanks always to God for you, brothers, in a fitting manner, because your faith is increasing greatly, and because the charity of each of you toward one another is abundant,

⁴so much so that we ourselves even glory in you among the churches of God, because of your patience and faith in all of your persecutions and tribulations that you endure,

⁵which are a sign of the just judgment of God, so that you may be held worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer.

⁶For certainly, it is just for God to repay trouble to those who trouble you,

⁷and to repay you, who are being troubled, with a repose with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with the Angels of his virtue,

⁸granting vindication, by a flame of fire, against those who do not know God and who are not obedient to the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹These shall be given the eternal punishment of destruction, apart from the face of the Lord and apart from the glory of his virtue,

¹⁰when he arrives to be glorified in his saints, and to become a wonder in all those who have believed, in that day, because our testimony has been believed by you.

¹¹Because of this, too, we pray always for you, so that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may complete every act of his goodness, as well as his work of faith in virtue,

¹²in order that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, in accord with the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

II Thessalonians 1

¹Paul and Sylvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians. In God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,

²Grace unto you: and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

³We are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith groweth exceedingly and the charity of every one of you towards each other aboundeth.

⁴So that we ourselves also glory in you in the churches of God, for your patience and faith, and in all your persecutions and tribulations: which you endure

⁵For an example of the just judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which also you suffer.

⁶Seeing it is a just thing with God to repay tribulation to them that trouble you:

⁷And to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with the angels of his power:

⁸In a flame of fire, giving vengeance to them who know not God and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹Who shall suffer eternal punishment in destruction, from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his power:

¹⁰When he shall come to be glorified in his saints and to be made wonderful in all them who have believed; because our testimony was believed upon you in that day.

¹¹Wherefore also we pray always for you: That our God would make you worthy of his vocation and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness and the work of faith in power:

¹²That the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.
