Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the congregation of Thessalonians in God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

We are indebted to thank God always about you, brothers, as it is fitting, because your faith is increasing greatly, and the love of each one of you all toward each other abounds.

So as for us ourselves to have pride in you in the congregations of God, for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the tribulations that ye endure,

being evidence of the righteous judgment of God, for you to be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which also ye suffer.

Since it is a righteous thing according to God to repay restriction to those who restrict you,

in a fire of flame rendering vengeance to those who have not known God, and to those not obeying the good-news of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For which also we pray always about you, so that our God will make you worthy of the calling, and will fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power.

So 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 Lord Jesus Christ.

who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or an object of worship, so as for him to sit in the temple of God, as God, displaying himself that he is God.

And because of this God will send them the force of a delusion, for them to believe a lie,

But we are indebted to express thanks to God always about you, brothers, beloved by Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation, in sanctification of spirit and belief of truth,

for which he called you, through our good-news, for an acquired possession of glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father who loved us and gave eternal encouragement and good hope through grace,

encourage your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

And may the Lord direct your hearts for the love of God, and for the steadfastness of the Christ.

But ye, brothers, do not become weary doing good.
