2 Thessalonians 1
Greeting
Verse 1:1
Greek–English Translation
Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, to the Church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
Textual and Reception Notes
Text [G]: Our is present with Father here; 1:2 has Father without a second our. Silvanus retains the written name rather than replacing it with Silas. Reception: R01.
Verse 1:2
Greek–English Translation
grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Textual and Reception Notes
Text [G]: Grace and peace come from both God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Unlike 1:1, the selected text has no our after Father; no repeated pronoun is supplied. Reception: R01.
Text [G]: NA28 reads πατρὸς [ἡμῶν] in brackets (SBLGNT omits); the rendering above follows SBLGNT, and NA28 would read "from God our Father".[G]R01
Thanksgiving and righteous judgment
Verse 1:3
Greek–English Translation
We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is fitting, because your faith is growing abundantly and the love of each and every one of you for one another is increasing,
Textual and Reception Notes
Text [G]: The two growth verbs distinguish faith growing abundantly from love increasing. Each and every one preserves the emphatic distribution; brothers is the familial community address, not proof of an exclusively male audience. Reception: R02.
Verse 1:4
Greek–English Translation
so that we ourselves boast of you among the Churches of God for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions that you bear.
Textual and Reception Notes
Text [G]: We ourselves retains the emphatic pronouns. Endurance and faith remain distinct, and the present bear describes their continuing afflictions rather than a persecution already over. Reception: R02.
Verse 1:5
Greek–English Translation
This is evidence of God’s righteous judgment, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer,
Textual and Reception Notes
Text [G]: This is supplies the English link for the source noun evidence. The purpose/result phrase continues the argument; the text is not rewritten to say suffering purchases the kingdom. Reception: R03.
Verse 1:6
Greek–English Translation
since it is indeed just with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,
Textual and Reception Notes
Text [G]: Since it is indeed just renders the assumed condition eiper. Affliction answers afflicting in the source’s repeated word family; the repayment is assigned to God, not commanded as private retaliation. Reception: R03.
Verse 1:7
Greek–English Translation
and to you who are afflicted, relief with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of His power,
Textual and Reception Notes
Text [G]: Angels of His power keeps the genitive rather than replacing it with a named group of angels. The fire phrase continues at the source’s 1:8 boundary. Reception: R03, B01.
Verse 1:8
Greek–English Translation
in a flame of fire, giving vengeance to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
Textual and Reception Notes
Text [G]: The flame-of-fire phrase continues 1:7 across the source boundary. Not knowing God and not obeying the gospel are separately expressed; our Lord Jesus has no added Christ here. Reception: R03, B01.
Verse 1:9
Greek–English Translation
They will pay the penalty of eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His strength,
Textual and Reception Notes
Text [G]: Apo can indicate separation from or origin from the Lord’s presence. From retains that ambiguity; neither a theory of annihilation nor a spatial description of punishment is added to eternal destruction. Reception: R04.
Verse 1:10
Greek–English Translation
when He comes to be glorified in His saints and marveled at among all who have believed—because our testimony to you was believed—on that day.
Textual and Reception Notes
Text [G]: His saints and all who have believed describe those in whom He is glorified and admired. The testimony clause is parenthetical; on that day returns to His coming, not a newly dated act of believing. Reception: R04.
Prayer for the calling
Verse 1:11
Greek–English Translation
To this end we also always pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling and fulfill every good resolve and work of faith with power,
Textual and Reception Notes
Text [G]: Every good resolve renders pasan eudokian agathōsynēs, literally every good pleasure of goodness. The phrase’s precise agency is not fully expressed; the translation does not insert whose resolve it must be. Reception: R04.
Verse 1:12
Greek–English Translation
so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.
Textual and Reception Notes
Text [G]: The Greek has one article before God and none before Lord Jesus Christ. The close coordination is retained; whether the entire final expression identifies Christ or coordinates God with Christ remains a grammatical question for further review. Reception: R04.
