2 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace be to you, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 We are bound to give thanks to God alway for you, brethren, even as it is meet, for that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all toward one another aboundeth;

We ought to thank God always for you, brethren, as is fit, because your faith increaseth exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all toward each ether aboundeth;

4 so 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;

so that we ourselves glory in you among the churches of God, for your constancy and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions which ye endure;

5 [which 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:

an indication of the righteous judgment of God, by which ye will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye are also suffering;

6 if so be that it is a righteous thing with God to recompense affliction to them that afflict you,

since it will be just with God to repay distress to them that distress you,

7 and to you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power

and to you the distressed rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be manifested from heaven, with the angels of his might,

8 in flaming fire, rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus:

in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus;

9 who shall suffer punishment, [even] eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might, (aiōnios g166)

who will be punished with everlasting destruction proceeding from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power, (aiōnios g166)

10 when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at in all them that believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in that day.

when he shall come in that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all who believed; for our testimony to you was believed.

11 To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and [every] work of faith, with power;

For which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and perfect [[in you]] all pleasure in goodness, and the work of faith, with power;

12 that 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.

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 of the Lord Jesus Christ.
