2 Thessalonians
Darby Bible Translation → New Living Translation

Paul and Silvanus and Timotheus to the assembly of Thessalonians in God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

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

Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

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

We ought to thank God always for you, brethren, even as it is meet, because your faith increases exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all towards one another abounds;

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

so that we ourselves make our boast in you in the assemblies of God for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations, which ye are sustaining;

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

a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that ye should be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for the sake of which ye also suffer;

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

if at least [it is a] righteous thing with God to render tribulation to those that trouble you,

In his justice he will pay back those who persecute you.

and to you that are troubled repose with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with [the] angels of his power,

And God will provide rest for you who are being persecuted and also for us when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven. He will come with his mighty angels,

in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who know not God, and those who do not obey the glad tidings of our Lord Jesus Christ;

in flaming fire, bringing judgment on those who don’t know God and on those who refuse to obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus.

who shall pay the penalty [of] everlasting destruction from [the] presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his might,

They will be punished with eternal destruction, forever separated from the Lord and from his glorious power.

when he shall have come to be glorified in his saints, and wondered at in all that have believed, (for our testimony to you has been believed,) in that day.

When he comes on that day, he will receive glory from his holy people — praise from all who believe. And this includes you, for you believed what we told you about him.

To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and fulfil all [the] good pleasure of [his] goodness and [the] work of faith with power,

So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do.

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 of [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

Then the name of our Lord Jesus will be honored because of the way you live, and you will be honored along with him. This is all made possible because of the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.d
