2 Thessalonians
New Living Translation → New International Version

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.

Paul, Silasa and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

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

Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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.

We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters,b and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.

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

Therefore, among God’s churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.

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

All this is evidence that God’s judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering.

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

God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you

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,

and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.

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.

He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

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

They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might

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.

on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.

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.

With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith.

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

We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.c
