2 Thessalonians 1:3-6

Wesley(i) 3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth. 4 So that we ourselves glory of you in the churches of God, for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and sufferings which ye endure: 5 A manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be accounted, worthy of the kingdom of God; for which also ye suffer. 6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God, to recompence affliction to them that afflict you.
