2 Thessalonians 1:2-4

New American Standard Bible

^2 (A)Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

³ We ought always ^(B)to give thanks to God for you, ^(C)brothers and sisters, as is only fitting, because your faith is increasing abundantly, and the ^(D)love of each and every one of you toward one another grows ever greater. ⁴ As a result, we ourselves ^(E)speak proudly of you among ^(F)the churches of God for your ^[a]perseverance and faith ^[b](G)in the midst of all your persecutions and afflictions which you endure.
