¹Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

¹Pavel in Silvan in Timotej cerkvi Solunčanov v Bogu Očetu našem in Gospodu Jezusu Kristusu:

²Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

²Milost vam in mir od Boga Očeta našega in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa!

³We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

³Zahvaljevati Boga smo dolžni vedno za vas, bratje, kakor je spodobno, ker močno raste vera vaša in se množi ljubezen vsakega izmed vas do vseh med seboj;

⁴So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

⁴tako da se mi sami hvalimo z vami po cerkvah Božjih zaradi stanovitnosti vaše in vere v vseh preganjanjih vaših in stiskah, ki jih prenašate;

⁵Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

⁵to je očitno znamenje pravične sodbe Božje, da bi bili za vredne spoznani kraljestva Božjega, ki zanje tudi trpite;

⁶Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

⁶ker je res pravično pri Bogu, da povrne stisko njim, ki vas stiskajo,

⁷And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

⁷in vam stiskanim počitek z nami, kadar se razodene Gospod Jezus z neba z angeli moči svoje

⁸In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

⁸v plamenečem ognju, ko bo kaznoval tiste, ki ne poznajo Boga in niso pokorni evangeliju Gospoda našega Jezusa:

⁹Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

⁹ki bodo trpeli kazen, večno pogubo izpred obličja Gospodovega in izpred slave moči njegove,

¹⁰When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

¹⁰kadar pride, da se oslavi v svetih svojih in se pokaže čudovitega v vseh, ki so sprejeli vero (ker se je verovalo pričevanje naše pri vas), v tisti dan.

¹¹Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

¹¹Za to tudi vedno molimo za vas, da vas spozna vredne poklica Bog naš in dovrši vsako blagougodje v dobroti in vsako delo vere z močjo svojo,da se oslavi ime Gospoda našega Jezusa v vas in vi v njem, po milosti Boga našega in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.

¹²That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

¹²da se oslavi ime Gospoda našega Jezusa v vas in vi v njem, po milosti Boga našega in Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa.
