1 Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the congregation of Thessalonians in God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ:

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

3 We are indebted to thank God always about you, brothers, as it is fitting, because your faith is increasing greatly, and the love of each one of you all toward each other abounds.

4 So as for us ourselves to have pride in you in the congregations of God, for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the tribulations that ye endure,

5 being evidence of the righteous judgment of God, for you to be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which also ye suffer.

6 Since it is a righteous thing according to God to repay restriction to those who restrict you,

7 and relief with us, to you who are restricted, at the revealing of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his agents of power

8 in a fire of flame rendering vengeance to those who have not known God, and to those not obeying the good-news of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 Men who will suffer punishment, a penalty of eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

10 when he comes to be glorified in his sanctified, and to be marveled in that day by all those who believe (because our testimony among you was believed).

11 For which also we pray always about you, so that our God will make you worthy of the calling, and will fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power.

12 So 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 Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Paul Syluanus and Timotheus. Vnto the congregacion of the Tessalonyans which are in God oure father and in the Lorde Iesus Christ.

2 Grace be with you and peace from God oure father and from the Lorde Iesus Christ.

3 We are bounde to thanke God all wayes for you brethren as it is mete because that youre fayth groweth excedyngly and every one of you swymmeth in love towarde another betwene youre selves

4 so yt we oureselves reioyce of you in the congregacions of God over youre pacience and fayth in all youre persecucions and tribulacios that ye suffre

5 which is a token of ye ryghtewes iudgemet of god that ye are counted worthy of the kyngdom of god for which ye also suffre.

6 It is verely a rightewes thinge with God to recopence tribulacion to them that trouble you:

7 and to you which are troubled rest with vs when the lorde Iesus shall shewe him silfe from heven with his myghty angels

8 in flammynge fyre rendrynge vengeaunce vnto them that knowe not God and to them that obeye not vnto the gospell of oure Lorde Iesus Christ

9 which shalbe punysshed with everlastynge damnacion from the presence of the lorde and from the glory of his power

10 when he shall come to be glorified in his sainctes and to be made marvelous in all them that beleve: because oure testimonye that we had vnto you was beleved eve the same daye that we preached it.

11 Wherfore we praye all wayes for you that oure god make you worthy of the callynge and fulfill all delectacion of goodnes and the worke of fayth with power:
