Paul, and
Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the
Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord
Jesus Christ:
02 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
03 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;
04 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:
05 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:
06 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to
recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
07 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when
the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with
his mighty angels,

08 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that
know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our
Lord Jesus Christ:
09 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.
