(1 Thessalonians 1:1–10)
1
Paul, Silvanus,(a) and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2
Grace and peace to you from God our Father (b) and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3
We are obligated to thank God for you all the time, brothers, as is fitting, because your faith is growing more and more, and your love for one another is increasing.
4
That is why we boast among God’s churches about your perseverance and faith in the face of all the persecution and affliction you are enduring.

Christ’s Coming

5
All this is clear evidence of God’s righteous judgment. And so you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering.
6
After all, it is only right for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,
7
and to grant relief to you who are oppressed and to us as well. This will take place when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels
8
in blazing fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
9
They will suffer the penalty of eternal destruction, separated from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His might,
10
on the day He comes to be glorified in His saints and regarded with wonder by all who have believed, including you who have believed our testimony.
11
To this end, we always pray for you, that our God will count you worthy of His calling, and that He will powerfully fulfill your every good desire and work of faith,
12
so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.(c)

(1 Thessalonians 1:1–10)
1
Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3
We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers,(a) even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you toward one another abounds,
4
so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.

Christ’s Coming

5
This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of God’s Kingdom, for which you also suffer.
6
For it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,
7
and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,
8
punishing those who don’t know God, and to those who don’t obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,
9
who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,
10
when he comes in that day to be glorified in his saints and to be admired among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.
11
To this end we also pray always for you that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power,
12
that the name of our Lord Jesus (b) may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
