2Th 2 Thessalonians, chapter Second Epistle to the Thessalonians, chapter 1
Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to yöu and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ! We always ought to give thanks to God for yöu, brothers, as it is fitting, because yöur faith increases greatly, and the love of each one of yöu all abounds to one another, so that we ourselves glory in yöu in the assemblies of God, for yöur endurance and faith in all yöur persecutions and tribulations that yöu bear— a token of the righteous judgment of God, for yöur being counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which yöu also suffer, since [it is] a righteous thing with God to give back to those troubling yöu—tribulation, and to yöu who are troubled—rest with us in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from Heaven, with messengers of His power, in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those not knowing God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will suffer justice—continuous destruction—from the face of the LORD, and from the glory of His strength, when He may come to be glorified in His holy ones, and to be wondered at by all those believing—because our testimony was believed among yöu—in that day; for which we also always pray for yöu, that our God may count yöu worthy of the calling, and may fulfill all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of faith in power, that the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in yöu, and yöu in Him, according to the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.
