[2 Thessalonians 1]

 

             ^1:1 Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the congregation^* of the Thessalonians in God our Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: ^1:2 grace to you^° and peace from God our Father and from 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. ^1:5 This 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 the ones afflicting you^°, ^1:7 and a relief to you^°, the ones being afflicted with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the messengers of his power. ^1:8 He will be giving vengeance in flaming fire to the ones not knowing God and to the ones not obeying* the good-news of our Lord Jesus, 1:9 who will suffer-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 the ones who 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 might be glorified in you^°, and you^° in him, according-to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus the Christ.
