2 Thessalonians 1]

     ^1:1 Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the congregation^* of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: ^1:2 grace to you^* and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

     ^1:3 Brethren, we always ought to give-thanks to God concerning you^*, just-as it is worthy, because your^* faith is growing substantially, and the love^* of each one of you^* all toward one another is increasing; ^1:4 so-as for us ourselves to boast in you^* in the congregations^* of God, on behalf of your^* endurance and faith in all your^* persecutions, and in the afflictions which you^* are tolerating. ^1:5This is an example of the righteous judgment of God; ^*that^* you^* may be deemed worthy of the kingdom of God, on behalf of which you^* are also suffering; ^1:6 if indeed^*it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who are afflicting you^*; ^1:7 and to you^* who are afflicted with us, a relief at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the messengers of his power, ^1:8 giving vengeance in a fire of flame {i.e. in flaming fire} to those who do not know God and to those who are not obeying^* the good-news of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^1:9 who will be suffering-punishment, the sentence of everlasting utter-destruction away from the face of the Lord, and away from the glory of his strength, ^1:10 whenever he comes to be glorified in his holy-ones, and to be marveled at in that day in all those who have believed, (because our testimony to you^* was believed). {2Th 1:7-9 & Mat 24:27, 24:29-31 & Mar 13:24-37 & Luk 21:25-28 & Acts 1:11 & 1Th 4:13-17 & 1Co 15:51-15:58 & Rev 1:7 Second Coming.}

     ^1:11*For which, we are also always praying concerning you^*, in order that our God might deem you^* worthy of your^* calling, and might fulfill every delight of goodness, and every work of faith in power, ^1:12*that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ might be glorified in you^*, and you^* in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
