Chapter 1
Address
1
From Paul, Silvanus and Timothy, to the Church in Thessalonika which is in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ;
2
wishing you grace and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thanksgiving and encouragement. The Last Judgement
3
We feel we must be continually thanking God for you, brothers; quite rightly, because your faith is growing so wonderfully and the love that you have for one another never stops increasing;
4
and among the churches of God we can take special pride in you for your constancy and faith under all the persecutions and troubles you have to bear.
5
It all shows that God’s judgement is just, and the purpose of it is that you may be found worthy of the kingdom of God; it is for the sake of this that you are suffering now.
6
God will very rightly repay with injury those who are injuring you,
7
and reward you, who are suffering now, with the same peace as he will give us, when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven with the angels of his power.
8
He will come in flaming fire to impose the penalty on all who do not acknowledge God[*a] and refuse to accept the Good News of our Lord Jesus.
9
It will be their punishment to be lost eternally, excluded from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength
10
on that day when he comes to be glorified among his saints and seen in his glory[*b] by all who believe in him; and you are believers, through our witness.
11
Knowing this, we pray continually that our God will make you worthy of his call, and by his power fulfil all your desires for goodness and complete all that you have been doing through faith;
12
because in this way the name of our Lord Jesus Christ will be glorified in you and you in him, by the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
