Greeting

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy,
To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

2 ^aGrace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

God’s Final Judgment and Glory

3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other, 4 so that ^awe ourselves boast of you among the churches of God ^bfor your patience and faith ^cin all your persecutions and ¹tribulations that you endure, 5 which is ^amanifest¹ evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, ^bfor which you also suffer; 6 ^asince it is a righteous thing with God to repay with ¹tribulation those who trouble you, 7 and to give you who are troubled ^arest with us when ^bthe Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, 8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 ^aThese shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and ^bfrom the glory of His power, 10 when He comes, in that Day, ^ato be ^bglorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who ¹believe, because our testimony among you was believed.
11 Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would ^acount you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and ^bthe work of faith with power, 12 ^athat the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
