| 2Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. | 2Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 3We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly enlarged, and the love of each one of you toward one another grows ever greater; | 3We are obligated to thank God for you all the time, brothers, as is fitting, because your faith is growing more and more, and your love for one another is increasing. |
| 4therefore, we ourselves speak proudly of you among the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in the midst of all your persecutions and afflictions which you endure. | 4That is why we boast among God’s churches about your perseverance and faith in the face of all the persecution and affliction you are enduring. |
| 5This is a plain indication of God's righteous judgment so that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering. | 5All this is clear evidence of God’s righteous judgment.

| 7and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire, | 7and to grant relief to you who are oppressed and to us as well. This will take place when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels |

| 9These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, | 9They will suffer the penalty of eternal destruction, separated from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His might, |
| 10when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed-- for our testimony to you was believed. | 10on the day He comes to be glorified in His saints and regarded with wonder by all who have believed, including you who have believed our testimony. |
| 11To this end also we pray for you always, that our God will count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith with power, | 11To this end, we always pray for you, that our God will count you worthy of His calling, and that He will powerfully fulfill your every good desire and work of faith, |
| 12so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. | 12so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. |
