Paul, and
Silvanus
, and
Timotheus
, unto the church
of the Thessalonians
in
God
our
Father
and
the Lord
Jesus
Christ
:
Grace unto you
, and
peace
, from
God
our
Father
and
the Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
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
;
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
:
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
:
Seeing it is a righteous thing
with
God
to recompense
tribulation
to them that trouble
you
;
And to you
who are troubled
rest
with
us
, when
the Lord
Jesus
shall be revealed
from
heaven
with
his
mighty
angels
,
In flaming
fire
taking
vengeance
on them that know
not
God
, and
that obey
not
the gospel
of our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
:
Who shall be punished
with everlasting
destruction
from
the presence
of the Lord
, and
from
the glory
of his
power
;
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
.
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
:
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
.
