2 Thessalonians Chapter 1

2Th 1:1 PAUL and Silvanus [Silas] 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 our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2Th 1:3 We ought to thank God always for you, brothers, as is fit, because your faith increases greatly, and the love of every one of you all one for another abounds,
2Th 1:4 so that we boast of you in the churches of God, of your patience and faith, in all your persecutions and the afflictions which you endure,
2Th 1:5 a token of the righteous judgment of God that you should be deemed worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer,
2Th 1:6 since it is just with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,
2Th 1:7 and to you who are afflicted rest with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels
2Th 1:8 in a flame of fire, executing judgment on all that know not God and obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus;
2Th 1:9 who shall suffer the punishment of eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power,
2Th 1:10 when he shall come to be glorified in his saints and to be admired by all that believe in that day, for our testimony was believed by you.
2Th 1:11 For which also we pray always for you, that our God will account you worthy of the calling, and accomplish all the good pleasure of [his] goodness and the work of faith with power;
2Th 1:12 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.
