3 He thanketh God for their faith, love and patience. 11 He praieth for the increase of the same, 12 And sheweth what fruit shall come thereof.

1.Paul and Silvanus, and Timotheus unto the Church of the Thessalonians, which is in God our Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ:

2.Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

3.*We ought to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is mete, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of every one of you toward another abundeth,

4.So that we ourselves rejoice of you in the Churches of God, because of your ^apatience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye suffer,

5.*Which is a ^btoken of the righteous judgement of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for the which ye also suffer.

6.For it is a righteous thing with God, to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you,

7.And to you which are troubled, rest with us *when the Lord Jesus shall show himself from heaven with his ^cmighty Angels,

8.In flaming fire, rendering vengeance unto them, that do not know God, and which obey not unto the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ,

9.Which shalbe punished with ^deverlasting perdition, 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 made marvelous in all them that believe (because our testimony toward you was believed) in that day.

11.Wherefore, we also pray always for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and fulfill ^eall the good pleasure of his goodness, and the ^fwork of faith with power,

12.That the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be ^gglorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Thessalonians 1
