1 Paulo, Silvano e Timóteo, à igreja dos tessalonicenses, em Deus, nosso Pai, e no Senhor Jesus Cristo, 2 graça e paz a vós outros, da parte de Deus Pai e do Senhor Jesus Cristo.

3 Irmãos, cumpre-nos dar sempre graças a Deus no tocante a vós outros, como é justo, pois a vossa fé cresce sobremaneira, e o vosso mútuo amor de uns para com os outros vai aumentando, 4 a tal ponto que nós mesmos nos gloriamos de vós nas igrejas de Deus, à vista da vossa constância e fé, em todas as vossas perseguições e nas tribulações que suportais, 5 sinal evidente do reto juízo de Deus, para que sejais considerados dignos do reino de Deus, pelo qual, com efeito, estais sofrendo; 6 se, de fato, é justo para com Deus que ele dê em paga tribulação aos que vos atribulam 7 e a vós outros, que sois atribulados, alívio juntamente conosco, quando do céu se manifestar o Senhor Jesus com os anjos do seu poder, 8 em chama de fogo, tomando vingança contra os que não conhecem a Deus e contra os que não obedecem ao evangelho de nosso Senhor Jesus. 9 Estes sofrerão penalidade de eterna destruição, banidos da face do Senhor e da glória do seu poder, 10 quando vier para ser glorificado nos seus santos e ser admirado em todos os que creram, naquele dia (porquanto foi crido entre vós o nosso testemunho). 11 Por isso, também não cessamos de orar por vós, para que o nosso Deus vos torne dignos da sua vocação e cumpra com poder todo propósito de bondade e obra de fé, 12 a fim de que o nome de nosso Senhor Jesus seja glorificado em vós, e vós, nele, segundo a graça do nosso Deus e do Senhor Jesus Cristo.

1 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ; 2 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 We are bound to give thanks to God always 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; 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; 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: 6 if so be that it is a righteous thing with God to recompense affliction to them that afflict 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 in flaming fire, 8 rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them 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, 10 when 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. 11 To 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; 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.

1 Paul, Silas "and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

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

3 We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, "and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.

4 Therefore, among God's churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.

5 All this is evidence that God's judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering.

6 God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you

7 and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.

8 He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might

10 on the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.

11 With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted by faith.

12 We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. [^3]
