2 Thessalonians 1

1
Paul and Silvanus and Timothy--unto the assembly of Thessalonians, in God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ,--

2
Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

3
We are bound, to be giving thanks, unto God, continually, concerning you, brethren, even as it is, meet; because your faith groweth exceedingly, and the
love of each one of you all one to another aboundeth,

4
So that, we ourselves, in you, are boasting, in the assemblies of God, over your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations which ye
are sustaining:--

5
A proof of the righteous judgment of God, to the end ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, in behalf of which ye are also suffering:--

6
If, at least, it is a, righteous thing with God, to recompense, affliction, unto them that afflict you,

7
And, unto you that are afflicted, release, with us,--by the revealing of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with his messengers of power,

8
In a fiery flame; holding forth vengeance--against them that refuse to know God, and them who decline to hearken unto the glad-message of our Lord Jesus,

9
Who, indeed, a penalty, shall pay--age-abiding destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might--

10
Whensoever he shall come, to be made all-glorious in his saints, and to be marvelled at in all who believed,--because our witness unto you was believed,--in
that day.

11
Unto which end, we are also praying continually for you, that our God may count, you, worthy of your calling, and fulfil every good-pleasure of goodness
and work of faith, with power,--

12
That the name of our Lord Jesus may be made all-glorious in you, and, ye, in him, according o the favour of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.
