| Chapter 1 1
Paul and Silvanus and Timothy to the ecclesia of the Thessalonians, in God, our Father,
and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Grace to you and peace from God, our Father, and the
Lord Jesus Christ.
3 We ought to be thanking God always concerning you,
brethren, according as it is meet; seeing that your faith is flourishing and the love of
each one of you all for one another is increasing,
4 so that we ourselves glory in you in the ecclesias of
God, for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions with which
you are bearing --
5 a display of the just judging of God, to deem you
worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering also,
6 if so be that it is just of God to repay affliction to
those afflicting you,
7 and to you who are being afflicted, ease, with us, at
the unveiling of the Lord Jesus from heaven with His powerful messengers,
8 in flaming fire, dealing out vengeance to those who are
not acquainted with God and those who are not obeying the evangel of our Lord Jesus Christ
--
9 who shall incur the justice of eonian extermination
from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of His strength --
10 whenever He may be coming to be glorified in His
saints and to be marveled at in all who believe (seeing that our testimony to you was
believed) in that day.
11 For which we are always praying also concerning you,
that our God should be counting you worthy of the calling, and should be fulfilling every
delight of goodness and work of faith in power,
12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in
you, and you in Him, in accord with the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
