*
We are bound to thank God always for you ,
brothers ,
as it is suitable ,
because that your faith grows exceedingly ,
and the love of every one of you all toward each other abounds ;
*
So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure :
*
Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God ,
that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God ,
for which you also suffer :
*
Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you ;
*
And to you who are troubled rest with us ,
when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels ,
*
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God ,
and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ :
*
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord ,
and from the glory of his power ;
*
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 .
*
Therefore also we pray always for you ,
that our God would count you worthy of this calling ,
and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness ,
and the work of faith with power :
*
That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you ,
and you in him ,
according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ .
