2 Thessalonians 1:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

³ We ought to thank God always for you, brothers (as is fitting), because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you toward each other abounds.

⁴ So that we ourselves rejoice over you in the churches of God because of your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you suffer.

⁵ (a sign of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you also suffer).
