2 Thessalonians 1

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the congregation of the Thessalonians in Allah our Father, and the Lord 'Isa al-Masih: ²As-Salam-u Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah[1] from Allah our Father and the Lord 'Isa al-Masih.

³We are bound to always give thanks to Allah for you, brothers,[2] even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows greatly, and the love of each and every one of you towards one another abounds; ⁴so that we ourselves boast about you in the congregations of Allah for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure. ⁵This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of Allah, to the end that you may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of Allah, for which you also suffer. ⁶Since it is a righteous thing with Allah to repay affliction to those who afflict you, ⁷and to give relief to you that are afflicted with us, when the Lord 'Isa is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, ⁸giving vengeance to those who do not know Allah, and to those who do not obey the Injil of our Lord 'Isa, ⁹who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might, ¹⁰when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired among all those who have believed (because our testimony to you was believed) in that day.

¹¹To 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; ¹²that the name of our Lord 'Isa may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord 'Isa al-Masih.
