2 Thessalonians 1

Greetings
1Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the community of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah:
2Grace to you and shalom from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah!
Troubles From an Eternal Perspective
3We ought to always thank God for you, brothers and sisters, as is appropriate, because your faithfulness grows wonderfully, and the love of each one of you for one another continually increases.
4Therefore, we ourselves boast of you among the communities of God—about your perseverance and faithfulness through all the persecutions and troubles that you endure.
5This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, so that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering. (
6For after all, it is right in the sight of God to pay back trouble to those who trouble you,
7and relief to you who suffer trouble along with us. At the revelation of the Lord Yeshua from heaven with His mighty angels
8in flaming fire, He will command judgment on those who do not know God and do not heed the Good News of our Lord Yeshua.
9They will pay the price of eternal ruin, away from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His power—
10on that Day when He comes to be glorified among His kedoshim and marveled at by all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.)
11With this in mind, we pray for you constantly, that our God may consider you worthy of the calling and fulfill with power every good desire and work of faith,
12so the name of our Lord Yeshua may be glorified in you, and you in Him, in keeping with the grace of our God and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

God’s Judgment and Glory
3We ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, since your faith is flourishing and the love#1Co 13:1; 1Jn 4:16 each one of you has for one another#Php 2:2 is increasing.#1Th 4:10 4Therefore, we ourselves boast#2Co 12:5 about you among God’s churches — about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and afflictions that you are enduring. 5It is clear evidence of God’s righteous#1Jn 1:9 judgment#Mt 12:41; Jn 5:22,27,30; 8:16; 16:11; Heb 9:27; Jms 2:13; 2Pt 3:7; Rv 14:7; 16:7; 19:2 that you will be counted worthy of God’s kingdom, for which you also are suffering,#Php 1:29 6since it is just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you 7and to give relief to you who are afflicted, along with us. This will take place at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels, 8when he takes vengeance with flaming fire#1Co 3:13; Heb 10:27; 12:29; 2Pt 3:7; Rv 14:10 on those who don’t know God#Ps 79:6; Is 66:15; Jr 10:25 and on those who don’t obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.#1Pt 4:17 9They will pay the penalty of eternal destruction#1Tm 6:9 from the Lord’s presence#Gn 4:14 and from his glorious strength#Is 2:10,19,21 10on that day when he comes#Mk 8:38 to be glorified#Jn 17:10; Rm 8:17 by his saints#Eph 5:3; 6:18 and to be marveled at by all those who have believed, because our testimony among you was believed. 11In view of this, we always pray for you that our God will make you worthy of his calling,#Eph 4:1; Col 3:15 and by his power fulfill your every desire to do good#1:11 Or power bring to fruition your desire to do good and your work produced by faith,#Gl 2:16; 1Th 1:3 12so that the name#Jn 14:13; Ac 3:16; 15:14; Php 2:10 of our Lord Jesus will be glorified#Is 24:15; 49:3; 66:5; Mal 1:11; 2Co 8:23 by you, and you by him,#Jn 13:31 according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
