3We are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, even as it is meet, for that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all toward one another aboundeth;

4so that we ourselves make our boast in you in the assemblies ofGod for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations, which ye are sustaining;

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

4so that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which ye endure;

5a manifest token of the righteous judgment ofGod, to the end that ye should be counted worthy of the kingdom ofGod, for the sake of which ye also suffer;

5For an example of the just judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which also you suffer.

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

6if at least [it is a] righteous thing withGod to render tribulation to those that trouble you,

6Seeing it is a just thing with God to repay tribulation to them that trouble you:

6if so be that it is a righteous thing with God to recompense affliction to them that afflict you,

7and to you that are troubled repose with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with [the] angels of his power,

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

7and to you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power in flaming fire,

8in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who know notGod, and those who do not obey the glad tidings of our Lord Jesus Christ;

8In a flame of fire, giving vengeance to them who know not God and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus:

9who shall pay the penalty [of] everlasting destruction from [the] presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his might,

9Who shall suffer eternal punishment in destruction, from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his power:

9who shall suffer punishment, even eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

10when he shall have come to be glorified in his saints, and wondered at in all that have believed, (for our testimony to you has been believed,) in that day.

10When he shall come to be glorified in his saints and to be made wonderful in all them who have believed; because our testimony was believed upon you in that day.

10when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be marvelled at in all them that believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in that day.

11To which end we also pray always for you, that ourGod may count you worthy of the calling, and fulfil all [the] good pleasure of [his] goodness and [the] work of faith with power,

11Wherefore also we pray always for you: That our God would make you worthy of his vocation and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness and the work of faith in power:

11To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfil every desire of goodness and every work of faith, with power;

12so that the name of our Lord Jesus [Christ] may be glorified in you and ye in him, according to the grace of ourGod, and of [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

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

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