God’s Judgment and Glory
3 We must always thank God for you, brothers. This is right, since your faith is flourishing and the love(A) each one of you has for one another(B) is increasing.(C) 4 Therefore, we ourselves boast(D) about you among God’s churches—about your endurance and faith in all the persecutions and afflictions you endure. 5 It is a clear evidence of God’s righteous(E) judgment(F) that you will be counted worthy of God’s kingdom, for which you also are suffering,(G)

Thanksgiving and Prayer
3 We ought always to thank God for you,(A) brothers and sisters,[a] and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.(B) 4 Therefore, among God’s churches we boast(C) about your perseverance and faith(D) in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.(E)
5 All this is evidence(F) that God’s judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy(G) of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering.
