GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Παυλος και Σιλουανος και Τιμοθεος προς την εκκλησιαν των Θεσσαλονικεων εν Θεω τω Πατρι ημων και Κυριω Ιησου Χριστω?	1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2 χαρις ειη υμιν και ειρηνη απο Θεου Πατρος ημων και Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου.	2 grace to you and peace from God (our) Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Οφειλομεν να ευχαριστωμεν παντοτε τον Θεον δια σας, αδελφοι, καθως ειναι αξιον, διοτι υπεραυξανει η πιστις σας και πλεοναζει η αγαπη ενος εκαστου παντων υμων εις αλληλους,	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.
4 ωστε ημεις αυτοι καυχωμεθα δια σας εν ταις εκκλησιαις του Θεου δια την υπομονην σας και πιστιν εν πασι τοις διωγμοις υμων και ταις θλιψεσι, τας οποιας υποφερετε,	4 Accordingly, we ourselves boast of you in the churches of God regarding your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions you endure.
5 το οποιον ειναι ενδειξις της δικαιας κρισεως του Θεου, δια να αξιωθητε της βασιλειας του Θεου, υπερ της οποιας και πασχετε,	5 This 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.
6 επειδη ειναι δικαιον ενωπιον του Θεου να ανταποδωση θλιψιν εις τους οσοι σας θλιβουσιν,	6 For it is surely just on God's part to repay with afflictions those who are afflicting you,
7 εις εσας δε τους θλιβομενους ανεσιν μεθ' ημων, οταν ο Κυριος Ιησους αποκαλυφθη απ' ουρανου μετα των αγγελων της δυναμεως αυτου	7 and 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,
8 εν πυρι φλογος, καμνων εκδικησιν εις τους μη γνωριζοντας Θεον και εις τους μη υπακουοντας εις το ευαγγελιον του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου,	8 in blazing fire, inflicting punishment on those who do not acknowledge God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
9 οιτινες θελουσι τιμωρηθη με ολεθρον αιωνιον απο προσωπου του Κυριου και απο της δοξης της δυναμεως αυτου,	9 These will pay the penalty of eternal ruin, separated from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power,
10 οταν ελθη να ενδοξασθη εν τοις αγιοις αυτου, και να θαυμασθη εν πασι τοις πιστευουσιν, επειδη σεις επιστευσατε εις την μαρτυριαν ημων, εν τη ημερα εκεινη.	10 when he comes to be glorified among his holy ones and to be marveled at on that day among all who have believed, for our testimony to you was believed.
11 Δια το οποιον και προσευχομεθα παντοτε δια σας, δια να σας καταστηση ο Θεος ημων αξιους της κλησεως αυτου, και να εκπληρωση πασαν ευδοκιαν αγαθωσυνης και το εργον της πιστεως εν δυναμει,	11 To 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,
12 δια να ενδοξασθη το ονομα του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου εν υμιν, και υμεις εν αυτω, κατα την χαριν του Θεου ημων και Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου.	12 that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, in accord with the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.
