2 Thessalonians 1:4

Thanksgiving For The Thessalonian Believers

³ Brothers, at all times we are obligated to thank God for you. It is right to do this because your faith is growing all the time and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing. ⁴ As a result, we rejoice about you among God's churches about your endurance and faith through all the persecutions and afflictions you are experiencing. ⁵ This is evidence of God's righteous judgment and is intended to make you worthy of God's kingdom, for which you are suffering.
