2 Thessalonians 1:2-4

Good News Translation

² May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

The Judgment at Christ's Coming

³ Our friends, we must thank God at all times for you. It is right for us to do so, because your faith is growing so much and the love each of you has for the others is becoming greater. ⁴ That is why we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God. We boast about the way you continue to endure and believe through all the persecutions and sufferings you are experiencing.
