2 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.	2 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 We are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as is fitting, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing.	3 We must always thank God for you, brothers; quite rightly, because your faith is growing so wonderfullyand the mutual love that each one of you has for al never stops increasing.
4 Therefore we ourselves boast of you in the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you are enduring.	4 Among the churches of God we take special pride in you for your perseverance and faith under al thepersecutions and hardships you have to bear.
5 This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be made worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering--	5 It al shows that God's judgement is just, so that you may be found worthy of the kingdom of God; it isfor the sake of this that you are suffering now.
6 since indeed God deems it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you,	6 For God's justice wil surely mean hardship being inflicted on those who are now inflicting hardship onyou,
7 and to grant rest with us to you who are afflicted, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,	7 and for you who are now suffering hardship, relief with us, when the Lord Jesus appears from heavenwith the angels of his power.
8 inflicting vengeance upon those who do not know God and upon those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.	8 He wil come amid flaming fire; he wil impose a penalty on those who do not acknowledge God andrefuse to accept the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
9 They shall suffer the punishment of eternal destruction and exclusion from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,	9 Their punishment is to be lost eternal y, excluded from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength
10 when he comes on that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at in all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.	10 on that day when he comes to be glorified among his holy ones and marvelled at by al who believe inhim; and you are among those who believed our witness.
11 To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his call, and may fulfil every good resolve and work of faith by his power,	11 In view of this we also pray continual y that our God wil make you worthy of his cal , and by his powerfulfil all your desires for goodness, and complete al that you have been doing through faith;
12 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.	12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you and you in him, by the grace of ourGod and the Lord Jesus Christ.
