1 1Greetings from Paul, Silas, and Timothy. To the church (group of believers)
that lives in Thessalonica. You people are in God our Father and the Lord Jesus
Christ. 2Grace (kindness) and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus
Christ. 3We thank God for you always. And we should do that because that is right
for us to do. It is right because your faith is growing more and more. And the love
that every one of you has for each other is also growing. 4So we boast about you
to the other churches of God. We tell the other churches the way you continue to
be strong and have faith. You are being persecuted and are suffering many troubles,
but you continue with strength and faith.

Paul Tells About God's Judgment
5That is proof that God is right in his judgment. God wants you to be worthy of
his kingdom. Your suffering is for that kingdom. 6God will do what is right. He
will give trouble to those people who trouble you. 7And God will give peace to you
people who are troubled. And he will give peace to us. God will give us this help
when the Lord Jesus is shown to us. Jesus will come from heaven with his powerful
angels. 8He will come from heaven with burning fire to punish those people who don't
know God. He will punish those people who don't do anything when they hear the message*
about our Lord Jesus Christ. 9Those people will be punished with a destruction that
continues forever. They will not be allowed to be with the Lord. Those people will
be kept away from his great power. 10This will happen on the day when the Lord [Jesus]
comes. Jesus will come to receive glory with his holy people.* And all the people
who have believed will be amazed at Jesus. You will be in that group of believers,
because you believed the things we told you. 11That is why we always pray for you.
We ask our God to help you live the good way that he called you to live. The goodness
you have makes you want to do good. And the faith you have makes you work. We pray
that with his power God will help you do these things more and more. 12We pray all
this so that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ can have glory in you. And you can
have glory in him. That glory comes from the grace (kindness) of our God and the
Lord Jesus Christ.
Footnotes: Good News, message The news that God has made a way for people to have
their sins forgiven and live with Him forever. holy people God's people are called
holy because they are made pure through Christ and belong only to God.
