2 Tesalonika 1:5

Encouragement in Persecution

1:5 This is evidence of God’s righteous judgment, to make you worthy ¹  of the kingdom of God, for which in fact you are suffering.

2 Tesalonika 2:10

2:10 and with every kind of evil deception directed against ²  those who are perishing, because they found no place in their hearts for the truth ³  so as to be saved.

2 Tesalonika 3:4

3:4 And we are confident about you in the Lord that you are both doing – and will do – what we are commanding.

[1:5]  ¹ tn Grk “so that you may be made worthy.” The passive infinitive καταξιωθῆναι (kataxiwqhnai) has been translated as an active construction in English for stylistic reasons.

[2:10]  ² tn Grk “deception for/toward.”

[2:10]  ³ tn Grk “they did not accept the love of the truth.”
