2 Thessalonians 1
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
1 Paul[a] and Silvanus[b] and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
We Thank God For Your Faith And Love, And Boast of Your Endurance Amidst Afflictions
3 We ought to be giving-thanks to God always for you, brothers, just as it is fitting, because your faith is growing-abundantly and the love of each one of you all toward one another is increasing, 4 so that we ourselves are boasting in you among the churches of God with reference to your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and afflictions which you are bearing-with—
These Are Evidence of God’s Righteous Judgment Concerning You And Those Afflicting You
5 ... which is evidence[c] of the righteous judgment of [d] God that you will be[e] considered-worthy of the kingdom of God for the sake of which you also[f] are suffering, 6 since it will be a righteous thing with[g] God to repay[h] affliction to the ones afflicting you 7 and to give you, the ones being afflicted, rest[i] along with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with angels of [j] His power 8 in flaming fire, giving[k] punishment[l] to the ones not knowing God and[m] the ones not obeying the good-news of our Lord Jesus— 9 who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from[n] the presence of the Lord and from the glory of [o] His strength, 10 when He comes to be glorified in[p] His saints and marveled-at [q] among[r] all the ones having believed— because[s] our testimony to you was believed— on that day,
We Pray For God To Fulfill Your Every Desire To Express Your Goodness And Faith
11 ... for which[t] also[u] we are praying always for you in order that our God may consider you worthy of the calling, and may fulfill every desire[v] of goodness[w] and work of [x] faith with [His] power, 12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you and you in Him, according-to[y] the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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.

Saludo
1 Pablo, Silvano y Timoteo, nos dirigimos a la iglesia de los tesalonicenses(A) en Dios nuestro Padre y en el Señor Jesucristo: 2 Que Dios nuestro Padre y el Señor Jesucristo les concedan gracia y paz.
El juicio de Dios al volver Cristo
3 Hermanos, siempre debemos dar gracias a Dios por ustedes. Así debe de ser, ya que la fe de ustedes va creciendo, y todos y cada uno de ustedes abunda en amor para con los demás. 4 Nosotros mismos nos sentimos muy orgullosos de ustedes en las iglesias de Dios, al ver la paciencia y la fe de ustedes para soportar las persecuciones y sufrimientos.
5 Esto es evidencia del justo juicio de Dios, de que ustedes son considerados dignos de su reino, por el cual sufren. 6 Delante de Dios es justo también que se haga sufrir a quienes los hacen sufrir a ustedes, 7 y al mismo tiempo darles un descanso a ustedes, los que sufren, lo mismo que a nosotros, cuando el Señor Jesús se manifieste desde el cielo con sus poderosos ángeles, 8 entre llamas de fuego, para darles su merecido a los que no conocieron a Dios ni obedecen al evangelio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. 9 Éstos sufrirán el castigo de la destrucción eterna, y serán excluidos de la presencia del Señor y de la gloria de su poder, 10 el día que venga para ser glorificado en sus santos y admirado por todos los que creyeron. Y ustedes han creído a nuestro testimonio. 11 Por eso siempre oramos por ustedes, para que nuestro Dios los considere dignos de su llamamiento, y cumpla con su poder todo propósito de bondad y toda obra de fe, 12 para que, por la gracia de nuestro Dios y del Señor Jesucristo, el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea glorificado en ustedes, y ustedes en él.
