2 Thessalonians Chapter 1

2Th 1:1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2Th 1:2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2Th 1:3 We ought to thank God always for you, brethren, as is fit, because your faith increaseth exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all toward each ether aboundeth;
2Th 1:4 so that we ourselves glory in you among the churches of God, for your constancy and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions which ye endure;
2Th 1:5 an indication of the righteous judgment of God, by which ye will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye are also suffering;
2Th 1:6 since it will be just with God to repay distress to them that distress you,
2Th 1:7 and to you the distressed rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be manifested from heaven, with the angels of his might,
2Th 1:8 in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus;
2Th 1:9 who will be punished with everlasting destruction proceeding from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power,
2Th 1:10 when he shall come in that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all who believed; for our testimony to you was believed.
2Th 1:11 For which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and perfect [in you] all pleasure in goodness, and the work of faith, with power;
2Th 1:12 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 of the Lord Jesus Christ.
