| 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 marveled 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 fulfill 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 to the favour of our God and Lord Jesus Christ. |
