Pablo^a, Silvano^b y Timoteo^c:

A la iglesia de los tesalonicenses^d en Dios nuestro Padre y en el Señor Jesucristo: 2 Gracia a vosotros^a y paz de parte de Dios el Padre y del Señor Jesucristo.

3 Siempre tenemos que dar gracias a Dios por vosotros^a, hermanos^b, como es justo, porque vuestra fe aumenta grandemente, y el amor de cada uno de¹ vosotros hacia los demás^c abunda más y más; 4 de manera que nosotros mismos hablamos con orgullo^a de vosotros entre las iglesias de Dios, por vuestra perseverancia¹ y fe^b en medio de todas las² persecuciones y aflicciones que soportáis^c. 5 Esta es una señal evidente^a del justo juicio de Dios, para que seáis considerados dignos del reino de Dios^b, por el cual en verdad estáis sufriendo.

6 Porque después de todo¹, es justo delante^a de² Dios retribuir con aflicción a los que os afligen, 7 y daros alivio a vosotros que sois afligidos, y también a nosotros¹, cuando el Señor Jesús sea revelado^2a desde el cielo^b con sus poderosos ángeles^3c en llama de fuego^d, 8 dando retribución a los que no conocen a Dios^a, y a los que no obedecen al evangelio de nuestro Señor Jesús^b. 9 Estos¹ sufrirán el castigo de eterna destrucción^a, excluidos de la presencia del Señor^b y de la gloria de su poder, 10 cuando Él venga para ser glorificado^a en¹ sus santos en aquel día^b y para ser admirado entre todos los que han creído; porque nuestro testimonio ha sido creído por vosotros^c.

11 Con este fin también nosotros oramos siempre por vosotros^a, para que nuestro Dios os considere¹ dignos^b de vuestro llamamiento^c y cumpla todo deseo de bondad^d y la obra de fe^e, con poder, 12 a fin de que el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesús^a sea glorificado en vosotros, y vosotros en Él, conforme a la gracia de nuestro Dios y del Señor Jesucristo.
