1 This letter is from Paul, Silas, and Timothy. We are writing to the church in Thessalonica, to you who belong to God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

2 May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

3 Dear brothers and sisters, we can’t help but thank God for you, because your faith is flourishing and your love for one another is growing.

4 We proudly tell God’s other churches about your endurance and faithfulness in all the persecutions and hardships you are suffering.

5 And God will use this persecution to show his justice and to make you worthy of his Kingdom, for which you are suffering.
