- Kapitel 1 -

(1 Thessalonians 1:1–10)
1
Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2
May grace be to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3
We should always give thanks to God for you, brothers. For this is appropriate, because your faith is growing very much, and the love of each of you abounds for one another.
4
So we ourselves speak proudly about you among the churches of God. We talk about your patience and faith in all your persecutions. We talk about the afflictions that you endure.

Christ’s Coming

5
This is a sign of God’s righteous judgment. The result is that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God for which you suffer.
6
It is righteous for God to return affliction to those who afflict you,
7
and relief to you who are afflicted with us. He will do this at the appearing of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power.
8
In flaming fire he will take vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not respond to the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
9
They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power.
10
He will do this when he comes on that day to be glorified by his people and to be marveled at by all those who believed. For our testimony to you was believed.
11
Because of this we also pray continually for you. We pray that our God will consider you worthy of your calling. We pray that he will fulfill every desire of goodness and every work of faith with power.
12
We pray these things so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified by you. We pray that you will be glorified by him, because of the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

(1 Thessalonians 1:1–10)
1
Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3
We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers,(a) even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you toward one another abounds,
4
so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.

Christ’s Coming

5
This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of God’s Kingdom, for which you also suffer.
6
For it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,
7
and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,
8
punishing those who don’t know God, and to those who don’t obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,
9
who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,
10
when he comes in that day to be glorified in his saints and to be admired among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.
11
To this end we also pray always for you that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power,
12
that the name of our Lord Jesus (b) may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
