1 To|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" Thessalonian church|strong="G1577" in|strong="G1722" union with|strong="G1722" God|strong="G2316" our|strong="G2316" Father|strong="G3962" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547", From|strong="G2532" Paul|strong="G3972", Silas, and|strong="G2532" Timothy|strong="G5095".
2 May|strong="G2532" God|strong="G2316", the|strong="G2532" Father|strong="G3962", and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547" bless you|strong="G5210" and|strong="G2532" give you|strong="G5210" peace|strong="G1515".
3 Friends, it|strong="G2532" is|strong="G1510" our|strong="G2316" duty always|strong="G3842" to|strong="G1519" thank|strong="G2168" God|strong="G2316" about|strong="G4012" you|strong="G5210", as|strong="G2531" is|strong="G1510" but|strong="G2532" right|strong="G1519", considering the|strong="G2532" wonderful growth of|strong="G4012" your|strong="G2532" faith|strong="G4102", and|strong="G2532" because|strong="G3754", without|strong="G2532" exception, your|strong="G2532" love for|strong="G3754" one|strong="G1520" another|strong="G1520" is|strong="G1510" continually|strong="G1519" increasing|strong="G4121".
4 So|strong="G2532" much is|strong="G3588" this|strong="G3588" the|strong="G1722" case|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3739" we|strong="G2249" ourselves|strong="G1438" speak|strong="G2316" with|strong="G1722" pride|strong="G2744", before|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" churches|strong="G1577" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316", of|strong="G2316" the|strong="G1722" patience|strong="G5281" and|strong="G2532" faith|strong="G4102" which|strong="G3739" you|strong="G5210" have|strong="G2532" shown, in|strong="G1722" spite of|strong="G2316" all|strong="G3956" the|strong="G1722" persecutions|strong="G1375" and|strong="G2532" troubles|strong="G2347" that|strong="G3739" you|strong="G5210" are|strong="G3588" enduring|strong="G5281".
5 These|strong="G3739" persecutions will|strong="G2316" vindicate the|strong="G2532" justice|strong="G2920" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316"’s judgment|strong="G2920", and|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2316" result|strong="G1519" in|strong="G1519" your|strong="G2532" being|strong="G2532" reckoned worthy|strong="G2661" of|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316"’s kingdom, for|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" sake|strong="G5228" of|strong="G2316" which|strong="G3739" you|strong="G5210" are|strong="G3588" now|strong="G2532" suffering|strong="G3958";
6 since|strong="G1512" God|strong="G2316" deems it|strong="G3588" just|strong="G1342" to|strong="G2316" inflict suffering|strong="G2347" on|strong="G2346" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" are|strong="G3588" now inflicting suffering|strong="G2347" on|strong="G2346" you|strong="G5210",
7 and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" give|strong="G1473" relief to|strong="G2532" you|strong="G5210" who|strong="G3588" are|strong="G3588" suffering|strong="G1722", as|strong="G1722" well|strong="G2532" as|strong="G1722" to|strong="G2532" us|strong="G2249", at|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" appearing of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" from|strong="G2532" heaven|strong="G3772" with|strong="G3326" his|strong="G1722" mighty|strong="G1411" angels, in|strong="G1722" flaming fire.
8 Then|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2316" inflict punishment|strong="G1557" on|strong="G1722" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" refuse to|strong="G2532" know|strong="G1492" God|strong="G2316", and|strong="G2532" on|strong="G1722" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" turn a|strong="G2532" deaf ear to|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" good|strong="G3588" news|strong="G2098" of|strong="G2316" Jesus|strong="G2424", our|strong="G2316" Lord|strong="G2962".
9 They|strong="G2532" will|strong="G2532" pay|strong="G5099" the|strong="G2532" penalty|strong="G1349" of|strong="G2532" unutterable ruin|strong="G3639" – banished from|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" presence|strong="G4383" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" Lord|strong="G2962" and|strong="G2532" from|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" glorious|strong="G1391" manifestation of|strong="G2532" his|strong="G2532" might|strong="G2479",

11 With|strong="G1722" this|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1722" view|strong="G1519", our|strong="G2316" constant prayer|strong="G4336" for|strong="G1519" you|strong="G5210" is|strong="G3588" that|strong="G2443" our|strong="G2316" God|strong="G2316" may|strong="G2532" count you|strong="G5210" worthy of|strong="G4012" the|strong="G1722" call|strong="G2532" that|strong="G2443" you|strong="G5210" have|strong="G2532" received, and|strong="G2532" by|strong="G1722" his|strong="G3956" power|strong="G1411" make|strong="G4336" perfect|strong="G4137" your|strong="G2532" delight in|strong="G1722" all|strong="G3956" goodness and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" efforts that|strong="G2443" have|strong="G2532" resulted|strong="G1519" from|strong="G2532" your|strong="G2532" faith|strong="G4102".
