2 Thessalonians 1:3-5

International Children’s Bible

Paul Talks About God’s Judgment

³ We must always thank God for you. And we should do this because it is right. It is right because your faith is growing more and more. And the love that every one of you has for each other is also growing. ⁴ So we brag about you to the other churches of God. We tell them about the way you continue to be strong and have faith. You are being treated badly and are suffering many troubles, but you continue with strength and faith.

⁵ This is proof that God is right in his judgment. God wants you to be worthy of his kingdom. Your suffering is for that kingdom.
