2 Thessalonians 1 : American Standard Version

1Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ; 2Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3We are bound to give thanks to God always
to you, brethren, even as it is meet, for that your faith growth
exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all toward one another
aboundeth; 4so that we ourselves glory in you in the
churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions
and in the afflictions which ye endure; 5which is a
manifest token of the righteous judgment of God; to the end that ye
may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also
suffer: 6if so be that it is righteous thing with God to
recompense affliction to them that afflict you, 7and to
you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord
Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power in flaming fire,
8rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them
that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus: 9who shall
suffer punishment, even eternal destruction from the face of the
Lord and from the glory of his might, 10when he shall
come to be glorified in his saints, and to be marvelled at in all
them that believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in
that day. 11To which end we also pray always for you,
that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfil every
desire of goodness and every work of faith, with power; 12that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and ye in
him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
