1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2 grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 We ought always to thank God for you, brethren, as is fitting, because your faith grows abundantly, and the love of every one of you for each other grows greater;
4 That is why we boast among God’s churches about your perseverance and faith in the face of all the persecution and affliction you are enduring.
5 All of this proves that God's judgment is just, and as a result, you will become worthy of his Kingdom, for which you are suffering.
6 For truly God's justice must render back trouble to those who are troubling you,
7 and to grant relief to you who are oppressed, and to us as well, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels
8 Taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 who will be punished with everlasting destruction proceeding from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power,
10 on the day He comes to be glorified in His saints and regarded with wonder by all who have believed, including you who have believed our testimony.
11 With this in mind we pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and would with power fulfill every good purpose and work of faith:
12 To the end that 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.
