2 Thessalonians 1

Revised Geneva Translation

1 Paul and Silvanus, and Timothy, To the Church of the Thessalonians, which is in God our Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ:

² Grace be with you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

³ We ought to thank God always for you, brothers (as is fitting), because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you toward each other abounds.

⁴ So that we ourselves rejoice over you in the churches of God because of your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you suffer.

⁵ (a sign of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you also suffer).

⁶ For it is a righteous thing with God to repay those who trouble you with tribulation.

⁷ And to you who are troubled: rest with us when the Lord Jesus shall show Himself from Heaven with His mighty angels

⁸ in flaming fire, rendering vengeance on those who do not know God and who do not obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ;

⁹ who shall be punished with everlasting perdition from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power

¹⁰ when He shall, on that Day, come to be glorified in His saints and made marvelous in all those who believe, because our testimony toward you was believed.

¹¹ Therefore, we pray always for you that our God may make you worthy of this calling and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness, and the work of faith, with power;

¹² so 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 of the Lord Jesus Christ.
