Grace and peace to you, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
We ought to give thanks always to God for you, brothers, in a fitting manner, because your faith is increasing greatly, and because the charity of each of you toward one another is abundant,
so much so that we ourselves even glory in you among the churches of God, because of your patience and faith in all of your persecutions and tribulations that you endure,
which are a sign of the just judgment of God, so that you may be held worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer.
For certainly, it is just for God to repay trouble to those who trouble you,
and to repay you, who are being troubled, with a repose with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with the Angels of his virtue,
granting vindication, by a flame of fire, against those who do not know God and who are not obedient to the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
