Paul certifieth them of the good opinion which he had of their faith, love, and patience:

1 ¶ Paul,º andº Silvanus,º andº Timotheus,º unto the² churchº of the Thessaloniansº inº Godº ourº Fatherº andº the Lordº Jesusº Christ:º 2 Graceº unto you,º andº peace,º fromº Godº ourº Fatherº andº the Lordº Jesusº Christ.º 3 We are boundºª to thankºª Godº alwaysº forº you,º brethren,º asº it isºª meet,º because¹ that² yourº faithº groweth exceedingly,ºª andº the² charityº of everyº oneº of youº allº towardº each otherº aboundeth;ºª 4 So¹ that² weº ourselvesº gloryºª inº youº inº the² churchesº of Godº forº yourº patienceº andº faithº inº allº yourº persecutionsº andº tribulationsº thatº ye endure:ºª 5 [Which is] a manifest tokenº of the² righteousº judgmentº of God,º that¹ yeº may be counted worthyºª of the² kingdomº of God,º forº whichº ye¹ª alsoº suffer:ºª 6 Seeingº [it is] a righteous thingº withº Godº to recompenseºª tribulationº to them that troubleºª you;º 7 Andº to youº who are troubledºª restº withº us,º whenº the² Lordº Jesusº shall be revealedº fromº heavenº withº his¹² mightyº angels,º 8 Inº flamingº fireº takingºª vengeanceº on them that knowºª notº God,º andº that obeyºª notº the² gospelº of ourº Lordº Jesusº Christ:º 9 Whoº shall be punishedººª with everlastingº destructionº fromº the presenceº of the² Lord,º andº fromº the² gloryº of hisº power;º 10 Whenº he shall comeºª to be glorifiedºª inº his¹² saints,º andº to be admiredºª inº allº them that believeºª (becauseº ourº testimonyº amongº youº was believed)ºª inº thatº day.º
