2 Thessalonians 1:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

Paul’s Prayer for the Thessalonians

³ We always have to thank God for you, brothers and sisters. It’s right to do this because your faith is showing remarkable growth and your love for each other is increasing. ⁴ That’s why we brag in God’s churches about your endurance and faith in all the persecutions and suffering you are experiencing. ⁵ Your suffering proves that God’s judgment is right and that you are considered worthy of his kingdom.
