\subsection{II Thessalonians 1}
\VS{1} Paul and Silas and Timothy to the assembly\fnEkklhsia{} of [the] Thessalonians 
in God our father and [in the] Lord Jesus Christ: 
\VS{2} Grace to you and peace from God [the] father and 
[the] Lord Jesus Christ. 

\VS{3} We ought to be thanking God always concerning you, brothers, just as 
it is fitting, because your faith super-grows and the agape-love of each one 
[of you] all to one another increases, 
\VS{4} so that we ourselves are boasting in 
you among the assemblies\fnEkklhsia{} of God concerning your endurance and faith in all 
your persecutions and distress which you endure, 
\VS{5} evidence of the just 
judgment of God, to the end that you be considered worthy of the kingdom of 
God, to the end that you be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, [for] which 
you also suffer, 
\VS{6} since [it is a] just [thing] for God to repay affliction to those 
afflicting you, 
\VS{7} And to you who are afflicted, [there will be] rest with us as the 
revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with angels of his power, 
\VS{8} with fire of flame, giving vengeance to those not having known God, and to 
those not obeying the good-news of our Lord Jesus, 
\VS{9} who will 
undergo\footnote{pay} destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the 
glory of his might, 
\VS{10} when he come to be glorified with his holy 
[ones] and to be marveled at by all those having believed --- because our 
testimony among you was believed --- in that day. 
\VS{11} For which [reason] we also 
pray always concerning you, in order that our God make you worthy of [this] 
calling, and fulfill all desire for goodness and [the] work of faith in ability, 
\VS{12} that the name of our Lord Jesus be glorified in you, and you in him, 
according to the grace of our God and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
