1 P aul, Silvanus (Silas), and Timothy, to the church (assembly) of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One):

Pablo, Silvano y Timoteo, a la iglesia de los tesalonicenses en Dios nuestro Padre y en el Señor Jesucristo:

2 G race (unmerited favor) be to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

Gracia y paz a vosotros, de parte de Dios nuestro Padre y del Señor Jesucristo. Dios juzgará a los pecadores en la venida de Cristo

3 W e ought and indeed are obligated to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, as is fitting, because your faith is growing exceedingly and the love of every one of you each toward the others is increasing and abounds.

Debemos siempre dar gracias a Dios por vosotros, hermanos, como es digno, por cuanto vuestra fe va creciendo, y el amor de todos y cada uno de vosotros abunda para con los demás;

4 A nd this is a cause of our mentioning you with pride among the churches (assemblies) of God for your steadfastness (your unflinching endurance and patience) and your firm faith in the midst of all the persecutions and crushing distresses and afflictions under which you are holding up.

tanto, que nosotros mismos nos gloriamos de vosotros en las iglesias de Dios, por vuestra paciencia y fe en todas vuestras persecuciones y tribulaciones que soportáis.

5 T his is positive proof of the just and right judgment of God to the end that you may be deemed deserving of His kingdom, for the sake of which you are also suffering.

Esto es demostración del justo juicio de Dios, para que seáis tenidos por dignos del reino de Dios, por el cual asimismo padecéis.

6 s ince it is a righteous thing with God to repay with distress and affliction those who distress and afflict you,

Porque es justo delante de Dios pagar con tribulación a los que os atribulan,

7 A nd to '> recompense] you who are so distressed and afflicted relief and rest along with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in a flame of fire,

y a vosotros que sois atribulados, daros reposo con nosotros, cuando sea revelado el Señor Jesús desde el cielo con los ángeles de su poder,

8 T o deal out retribution (chastisement and vengeance) upon those who do not know or perceive or become acquainted with God, and who ignore and refuse to obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

en llama de fuego, para dar retribución a los que no conocieron a Dios, ni obedecen al evangelio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo;

9 S uch people will pay the penalty and suffer the punishment of everlasting ruin (destruction and perdition) and eternal exclusion and banishment from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,

los cuales sufrirán pena de eterna perdición, excluidos de la presencia del Señor y de la gloria de su potencia,

10 W hen He comes to be glorified in His saints, and be marveled at and admired in all who have believed, because our witnessing among you was confidently accepted and believed.

cuando venga para ser glorificado en aquel día en sus santos y ser admirado en todos los que creyeron (por cuanto nuestro testimonio ha sido creído entre vosotros).

11 W ith this in view we constantly pray for you, that our God may deem and count you worthy of calling and every gracious purpose of goodness, and with power may complete in every particular work of faith (faith which is that leaning of the whole human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness).

A este fin asimismo oramos siempre por vosotros, para que nuestro Dios os tenga por dignos de su llamamiento, y cumpla todo propósito de bondad y toda obra de fe con su poder,

12 T hus may the name of our Lord Jesus Christ be glorified and become more glorious through and in you, and may you in Him according to the grace (favor and blessing) of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

para que el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea glorificado en vosotros, y vosotros en él, por la gracia de nuestro Dios y Señor Jesucristo.
