1 Paulus et Silvanus et Timotheus ecclesiae Thessalonicensium
in Deo Patre nostro et Domino Iesu Christo
2 gratia vobis et pax a Deo Patre nostro et Domino Iesu Christo
3 gratias agere debemus Deo semper pro vobis fratres
ita ut dignum est
quoniam supercrescit fides vestra
et abundat caritas uniuscuiusque omnium vestrum in invicem
4 ita ut et nos ipsi in vobis gloriemur in ecclesiis Dei
pro patientia vestra et fide in omnibus persecutionibus
vestris
et tribulationibus quas sustinetis
5 in exemplum iusti iudicii Dei
ut digni habeamini regno Dei pro quo et patimini
6 si tamen iustum est apud Deum
retribuere tribulationem his qui vos
tribulant
7 et vobis qui tribulamini requiem nobiscum
in revelatione Domini Iesu
de caelo cum angelis virtutis eius
8 in flamma ignis dantis vindictam his qui non noverunt Deum
et qui non oboediunt evangelio Domini nostri Iesu
9 qui poenas dabunt in interitu aeternas
a facie Domini et a gloria virtutis eius
10 cum venerit glorificari in sanctis suis
et admirabilis fieri in omnibus qui crediderunt
quia creditum est testimonium nostrum super vos in die illo
11 in quo etiam oramus semper pro vobis
ut dignetur vos vocatione sua Deus
et impleat omnem voluntatem bonitatis et opus fidei in virtute
12 ut clarificetur nomen Domini nostri Iesu Christi in vobis
et vos in illo secundum gratiam Dei nostri et Domini Iesu Christi
1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 2 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth; 4 So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 5 Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. 11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: 12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
