2 Thessalonians 1

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 I, Paul, am writing this letter. Silas and Timothy join me in writing. We are sending this letter to you, the members of the church in Thessalonica. You belong to God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

3 Brothers and sisters, we should always thank God for you. That is only right, because your faith is growing more and more. The love you all have for each other is increasing.

4 So among God's churches we brag about the fact that you don't give up easily. We brag about your faith in all the suffering and testing you are going through.

5 All of this proves that when God judges, he is fair. So you will be considered worthy to enter God's kingdom. You are suffering for his kingdom.

6 God is fair. He will pay back trouble to those who give you trouble.

7 He will help you who are troubled. And he will also help us. All of those things will happen when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven. He will come in blazing fire. He will come with the angels who are given the power to do what God wants.

8 He will punish those who don't know God. He will punish those who don't obey the good news about our Lord Jesus.

9 They will be destroyed forever. They will be shut out of heaven. They will never see the glory of the Lord's power.

10 All of those things will happen when he comes. On that day his glory will be seen in his holy people. Everyone who has believed will be amazed when they see him. That includes you, because you believed the witness we gave you.

11 Keeping this in mind, we never stop praying for you. Our God has chosen you. We pray that he will consider you worthy of his choice. We pray that by his power he will make every good thing you have planned come true. We pray that he will make perfect all that you have done by faith.

12 We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus will receive glory through what you have done. We also pray that you will receive glory through what he has done. We pray all these things in keeping with the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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

2 grace to you and peace of God, our Father, and of the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 We owe to do thankings evermore to God for you, brethren, so as it is worthy, for your faith over-waxeth, and the charity of each of you to other aboundeth. [+We owe to do thankings ever to God for you, brethren, so as it is worthy, for your faith ever-waxeth, and the charity of each of you together aboundeth.]

4 So that we us selves glory in you [So that we ourselves glory in you] in the churches of God, for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations. Which ye sustain

5 into the ensample [into the example] of the just doom of God, that ye be had worthy in the kingdom of God, for which ye suffer.

6 If nevertheless it is just before God [If nevertheless it is just at God] to requite tribulation to them that trouble you,

7 and to you that be troubled, rest with us in the showing of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with angels of his virtue,

8 in the flame of fire, that shall give vengeance to them that know not God [in the flame of fire, giving vengeance to them that know not God], and that obey not to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 Which shall suffer everlasting pains, in perishing from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his virtue,

10 when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be made wonderful in all men that believed, for our witnessing is believed on you, in that day.

11 In which thing also we pray evermore for you, that our God make you worthy to his calling, and fill all the will of his goodness [and fulfill all the will of his goodness], and the work of faith in virtue;

12 that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ be clarified in you, and ye in him, by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [after the grace of our God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ].
