GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Παυλος και Σιλουανος και Τιμοθεος προς την εκκλησιαν των Θεσσαλονικεων εν Θεω τω Πατρι ημων και Κυριω Ιησου Χριστω?
2 χαρις ειη υμιν και ειρηνη απο Θεου Πατρος ημων και Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου.	2 Grace to you and peace from God the 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 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 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 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 το οποιον ειναι ενδειξις της δικαιας κρισεως του Θεου, δια να αξιωθητε της βασιλειας του Θεου, υπερ της οποιας και πασχετε,	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 επειδη ειναι δικαιον ενωπιον του Θεου να ανταποδωση θλιψιν εις τους οσοι σας θλιβουσιν,	6 For God's justice wil surely mean hardship being inflicted on those who are now inflicting hardship onyou,
7 εις εσας δε τους θλιβομενους ανεσιν μεθ' ημων, οταν ο Κυριος Ιησους αποκαλυφθη απ' ουρανου μετα των αγγελων της δυναμεως αυτου	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 εν πυρι φλογος, καμνων εκδικησιν εις τους μη γνωριζοντας Θεον και εις τους μη υπακουοντας εις το ευαγγελιον του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου,	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 οιτινες θελουσι τιμωρηθη με ολεθρον αιωνιον απο προσωπου του Κυριου και απο της δοξης της δυναμεως αυτου,	9 Their punishment is to be lost eternal y, excluded from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength
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 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 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 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 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 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.
