2 Thessalonians 1

1^*aPaul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: ²Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

^3bWe are bound to ^cthank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your ^cfaith groweth exceedingly, and the ^ccharity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth; ^4dSo that we ourselves glory in you in ^ethe churches of God for your ^cpatience and ^cfaith ^fin all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: ⁵Which is ^ga manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be ^hcounted worthy of the kingdom of God, ^ffor which ye also suffer: ⁶ⁱSeeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; ⁷And ^jto you who are troubled ^krest with us, when ^lthe Lord Jesus ^mshall be revealed from heaven ⁿwith ^†his mighty angels, ^8oIn flaming fire ^||ptaking vengeance on them ^qthat know not God, and ^rthat obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: ^9sWho shall be punished with everlasting ^tdestruction ^ufrom the presence of the Lord, and ^wfrom the glory of his power; ^10wWhen he shall come ^xto be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our ^xxtestimony among you ^ywas believed) ^zin that day. ¹¹Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would ^||hcount you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the ^agood pleasure of his ^bgoodness, and ^cthe work of faith with power: ¹²That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ ^dmay be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
