2 Thessalonians 1
1 2 3
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the
Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 2 Grace
unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 We
are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that
your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward
each other aboundeth; 4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the
churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and
tribulations that ye endure:
5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous
judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which
ye also suffer: 6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to
recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7 And to you who are
troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with
his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that
know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who
shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord,
and from the glory of his power; 10 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 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 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 the Lord Jesus Christ.
