2 Thessaloniciens 1
La Bible du Semeur
Salutation
1 Paul, Silvain et Timothée saluent l’Eglise des Thessaloniciens dans la communion avec Dieu le Père et avec le Seigneur Jésus-Christ.
2 Que la grâce et la paix vous soient accordées par Dieu notre Père et par le Seigneur Jésus-Christ.
Prière de reconnaissance et encouragements
3 Nous devons toujours remercier Dieu à votre sujet, frères et sœurs, et il est juste que nous le fassions. En effet, votre foi fait de magnifiques progrès et, en chacun de vous, l’amour que vous vous portez les uns aux autres ne cesse d’augmenter.
4 Aussi exprimons-nous dans les Eglises de Dieu notre fierté en ce qui vous concerne, à cause de votre persévérance et de votre foi au milieu de toutes les persécutions et de toutes les détresses que vous endurez.
5 Ici se laisse voir le juste jugement de Dieu qui désire vous trouver dignes de son royaume pour lequel vous souffrez. 6 En effet, il est juste aux yeux de Dieu de rendre la souffrance à ceux qui vous font souffrir, 7 et de vous accorder, à vous qui souffrez, du repos avec nous. Cela se produira lorsque le Seigneur Jésus apparaîtra du haut du ciel, avec ses anges puissants 8 et dans une flamme. Ce jour-là, il punira comme ils le méritent ceux qui ne connaissent pas Dieu[a] et qui n’obéissent pas à l’Evangile de notre Seigneur Jésus. 9 Ils auront pour châtiment une ruine éternelle, loin de la présence du Seigneur et de sa puissance glorieuse[b] 10 lorsqu’il viendra pour être en ce jour-là honoré dans la personne des membres du peuple saint[c] et admiré dans la personne de tous les croyants[d]. Et vous aussi, vous en ferez partie, puisque vous avez cru au message que nous vous avons annoncé.
11 C’est pourquoi nous prions continuellement notre Dieu pour vous : qu’il vous trouve dignes de l’appel qu’il vous a adressé et que, par sa puissance, il fasse aboutir tous vos désirs de faire le bien et rende parfaite l’œuvre que votre foi vous fait entreprendre. 12 Ainsi le Seigneur Jésus-Christ sera honoré en vous et vous serez honorés en lui[e] ; ce sera là un effet de la grâce de notre Dieu et Seigneur Jésus-Christ[f].

2 Thessalonians 1
New King James Version
Greeting
1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy,
To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2 (A)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
God’s Final Judgment and Glory
3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other, 4 so that (B)we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God (C)for your patience and faith (D)in all your persecutions and [a]tribulations that you endure, 5 which is (E)manifest[b] evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, (F)for which you also suffer; 6 (G)since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with [c]tribulation those who trouble you, 7 and to give you who are troubled (H)rest with us when (I)the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, 8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 (J)These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and (K)from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes, in that Day, (L)to be (M)glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who [d]believe, because our testimony among you was believed.
11 Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would (N)count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and (O)the work of faith with power, 12 (P)that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Thessalonians 1
New International Version
1 Paul, Silas[a](A) and Timothy,(B)
To the church of the Thessalonians(C) in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.(D)
Thanksgiving and Prayer
3 We ought always to thank God for you,(E) brothers and sisters,[b] and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.(F) 4 Therefore, among God’s churches we boast(G) about your perseverance and faith(H) in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.(I)
5 All this is evidence(J) that God’s judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy(K) of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. 6 God is just:(L) He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you(M) 7 and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven(N) in blazing fire(O) with his powerful angels.(P) 8 He will punish(Q) those who do not know God(R) and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.(S) 9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction(T) and shut out from the presence of the Lord(U) and from the glory of his might(V) 10 on the day(W) he comes to be glorified(X) in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.(Y)
11 With this in mind, we constantly pray for you,(Z) that our God may make you worthy(AA) of his calling,(AB) and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness(AC) and your every deed prompted by faith.(AD) 12 We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you,(AE) and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.[c]

2 Thessalonians 1
King James Version
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.
