2 Thessalonians 1:3-5

Worldwide English (New Testament)

³ My brothers, we thank God for you always. It is the right thing to do. You trust him more and more. You all love each other more and more.

⁴ So we are proud of you. We tell the churches of God about you because you are standing strong and you keep on believing in God. Your troubles and hard times do not stop you.

⁵ This proves that God will judge right. And he will say that you are good enough for the kingdom of God because you suffer for it.
