2 Thessalonians 1:1-12
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto
the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 2 Grace unto
you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 We are bound to thank God
always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and
the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth; 4 So that we ourselves
glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions
and tribulations that ye endure:
5 Which is a manifest token of the
righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which
ye also suffer: 6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation
to them that trouble you; 7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus
shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance
on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who
shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the
glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all
them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
|
11 Wherefore also we pray
always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all
the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: 12 That the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the
grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
