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 to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
2Th 1:3 We are bound to give thanks to God always concerning you, brethren, as it is fit, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all toward one another increases,
2Th 1:4 so that we ourselves glory in you among the churches of God, on account of your patience and faith in all your persecutions and afflictions which you endure,
2Th 1:5 a proof of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer,
2Th 1:6 since it is a righteous thing with God to repay to those that afflict you, affliction,
2Th 1:7 and to you that are afflicted, rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power
2Th 1:8 in naming fire, rendering vengeance to those that know not God and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus;
2Th 1:9 and these shall suffer punishment, an eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might;
2Th 1:10 when he shall have come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all that believed (because our testimony to you was believed) in that day.
2Th 1:11 To which end also we pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of faith in 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.
