Tas`loniqim Bĕt (2 Thessalonians) 1
1
1Sha’ul, and Silas, and Timotiyos, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in Elohim our Father and the Master יהושע Messiah:
2Favour to you and peace from Elohim our Father and the Master יהושע Messiah.
3We ought to give thanks to Elohim always for you, brothers, as it is proper, because your belief grows exceedingly, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing,
4so that we ourselves boast of you among the assemblies of Elohim for your endurance and belief in all your persecutions and afflictions which you are bearing,
5clear evidence of the righteous judgment of Elohim, in order for you to be counted worthy of the reign of Elohim, for which you also suffer,
6since Elohim shall rightly repay with affliction those who afflict you,
7and to give you who are afflicted rest with us when the Master יהושע is revealed from heaven with His mighty messengers,
8in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know Elohim, and on those who do not obey the Good News of our Master יהושע Messiah,
9who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Master and from the esteem of His strength,
10when He comes to be esteemed in His set-apart ones and to be admired among all those who believe in that Day, because our witness to you was believed.
11To this end we always pray for you that our Elohim would count you worthy of this calling, and complete all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of belief with power,
12so that the Name of our Master יהושע Messiah is esteemed in you, and you in Him, according to the favour of our Elohim and the Master יהושע Messiah.

2 Thessalonians 1
1
Greeting.#On the address, see note on Rom 1:1–7 and cf. 1 Thes 1:1. 1Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:#1 Thes 1:1. 2grace to you and peace from God [our] Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thanksgiving. 3#On the thanksgiving, see note on Rom 1:8 and cf. 1 Thes 1:2–10. Paul’s gratitude to God for the faith and love of the Thessalonians (2 Thes 1:3) and his Christian pride in their faithful endurance (2 Thes 1:4–5) contrast with the condemnation announced for those who afflict them, a judgment to be carried out at the parousia (2 Thes 1:6–10), which is described in vivid language drawn from Old Testament apocalyptic. A prayer for the fulfillment of God’s purpose in the Thessalonians (2 Thes 1:11–12) completes the section, as is customary in a Pauline letter (cf. 1 Thes 1:2–3).We ought to thank God always for you, brothers, as is fitting, because your faith flourishes ever more, and the love of every one of you for one another grows ever greater.#1 Cor 1:4; 1 Thes 1:2; 3:12. 4Accordingly, we ourselves boast of you in the churches of God regarding your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions you endure.
5This is evidence of the just judgment of God, so that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God for which you are suffering.#Phil 1:28; 1 Thes 2:12. 6For it is surely just on God’s part to repay with afflictions those who are afflicting you, 7and to grant rest along with us to you who are undergoing afflictions, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his mighty angels, 8in blazing fire, inflicting punishment on those who do not acknowledge God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.#Ps 79:5–6; Is 66:15; Jer 10:25. 9These will pay the penalty of eternal ruin, separated from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power,#Is 2:10, 19, 21. 10when he comes to be glorified among his holy ones#Among his holy ones: in the Old Testament, this term can refer to an angelic throng (cf. also Jude 14), but here, in parallel with among all who have believed, it can refer to the triumphant people of God. and to be marveled at on that day among all who have believed, for our testimony to you was believed.#Ps 89:8; Dn 7:18–22, 27; 1 Thes 3:13.
Prayer. 11To this end, we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and powerfully bring to fulfillment every good purpose and every effort of faith,#1 Thes 1:2–3. 12#The grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ: the Greek can also be translated, “the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.”that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him,#Is 66:5. in accord with the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.
