2 Thessalonians 1:3-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

³ We ought always ^(A)to give thanks to God for you, ^(B)brethren, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly enlarged, and the ^(C)love of each one of you toward one another grows ever greater; ⁴ therefore, we ourselves ^(D)speak proudly of you among ^(E)the churches of God for your ^[a]perseverance and faith ^(F)in the midst of all your persecutions and afflictions which you endure. ⁵ This is a ^(G)plain indication of God’s righteous judgment so that you will be ^(H)considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering.
