Noyes - II Thessalonians - 1

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

1:2  Grace be to you, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

1:3  We ought to thank God always for you, brethren, as is fit, because your faith increaseth exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all toward each ether aboundeth;

1:4  so that we ourselves glory in you among the churches of God, for your constancy and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions which ye endure;

1:5  an indication of the righteous judgment of God, by which ye will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye are also suffering;

1:6  since it will be just with God to repay distress to them that distress you,

1:7  and to you the distressed rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be manifested from heaven, with the angels of his might,

1:8  in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus;

1:9  who will be punished with everlasting destruction proceeding from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power,

1:10  when he shall come in that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all who believed; for our testimony to you was believed.

1:11  For which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and perfect [in you] all pleasure in goodness, and the work of faith, with power;

1:12  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 of the Lord Jesus Christ.
