¹[] Παυλος και Σιλουανος και Τιμοθεος προς την εκκλησιαν των Θεσσαλονικεων εν Θεω τω Πατρι ημων και Κυριω Ιησου Χριστω·

¹Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:

²χαρις ειη υμιν και ειρηνη απο Θεου Πατρος ημων και Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου.

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

³Οφειλομεν να ευχαριστωμεν παντοτε τον Θεον δια σας, αδελφοι, καθως ειναι αξιον, διοτι υπεραυξανει η πιστις σας και πλεοναζει η αγαπη ενος εκαστου παντων υμων εις αλληλους,

³We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you towards one another abounds;

⁴ωστε ημεις αυτοι καυχωμεθα δια σας εν ταις εκκλησιαις του Θεου δια την υπομονην σας και πιστιν εν πασι τοις διωγμοις υμων και ταις θλιψεσι, τας οποιας υποφερετε,

⁴so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.

⁵[] το οποιον ειναι ενδειξις της δικαιας κρισεως του Θεου, δια να αξιωθητε της βασιλειας του Θεου, υπερ της οποιας και πασχετε,

⁵This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you also suffer.

⁶επειδη ειναι δικαιον ενωπιον του Θεου να ανταποδωση θλιψιν εις τους οσοι σας θλιβουσιν,

⁶Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,

⁷εις εσας δε τους θλιβομενους ανεσιν μεθ' ημων, οταν ο Κυριος Ιησους αποκαλυφθη απ' ουρανου μετα των αγγελων της δυναμεως αυτου

⁷and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

⁸εν πυρι φλογος, καμνων εκδικησιν εις τους μη γνωριζοντας Θεον και εις τους μη υπακουοντας εις το ευαγγελιον του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου,

⁸giving vengeance to those who don’t know God, and to those who don’t obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,

⁹οιτινες θελουσι τιμωρηθη με ολεθρον αιωνιον απο προσωπου του Κυριου και απο της δοξης της δυναμεως αυτου,

⁹who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

¹⁰οταν ελθη να ενδοξασθη εν τοις αγιοις αυτου, και να θαυμασθη εν πασι τοις πιστευουσιν, επειδη σεις επιστευσατε εις την μαρτυριαν ημων, εν τη ημερα εκεινη.

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.

¹¹[] Δια το οποιον και προσευχομεθα παντοτε δια σας, δια να σας καταστηση ο Θεος ημων αξιους της κλησεως αυτου, και να εκπληρωση πασαν ευδοκιαν αγαθωσυνης και το εργον της πιστεως εν δυναμει,

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;

¹²δια να ενδοξασθη το ονομα του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου εν υμιν, και υμεις εν αυτω, κατα την χαριν του Θεου ημων και Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου.

¹²that the name of our Lord Jesus TR adds “Christ” may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
