Ευχαριστειν οφειλομεν τω Θεω παντοτε περι υμων αδελφοι καθως αξιον εστιν οτι υπεραυξανει η πιστις υμων και πλεοναζει η αγαπη ενος εκαστου παντων υμων εις αλληλους

We are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, even as it is meet, for that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all toward one another aboundeth;

1:4

ωστε αυτους ημας εν υμιν ενκαυχασθαι εν ταις εκκλησιαις του Θεου υπερ της υπομονης υμων και πιστεως εν πασιν τοις διωγμοις υμων και ταις θλιψεσιν αις ανεχεσθε

so that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which ye endure;

1:5

Ενδειγμα της δικαιας κρισεως του Θεου εις το καταξιωθηναι υμας της βασιλειας του Θεου υπερ ης και πασχετε

which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God; to the end that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

1:6

ειπερ δικαιον παρα Θεω ανταποδουναι τοις θλιβουσιν υμας θλιψιν

if so be that it is a righteous thing with God to recompense affliction to them that afflict you,

και υμιν τοις θλιβομενοις ανεσιν μεθ ημων εν τη αποκαλυψει του Κυριου Ιησου απ ουρανου μετ αγγελων δυναμεως αυτου

and to you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power in flaming fire,

rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus:

οιτινες δικην τισουσιν ολεθρον αιωνιον απο προσωπου του Κυριου και απο της δοξης της ισχυος αυτου

who shall suffer punishment, even eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

1:10

οταν ελθη ενδοξασθηναι εν τοις αγιοις αυτου και θαυμασθηναι εν πασιν τοις πιστευσασιν οτι επιστευθη το μαρτυριον ημων εφ υμας εν τη ημερα εκεινη

when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be marvelled at in all them that believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in that day.

1:11

Εις ο και προσευχομεθα παντοτε περι υμων ινα υμας αξιωση της κλησεως ο Θεος ημων και πληρωση πασαν ευδοκιαν αγαθωσυνης και εργον πιστεως εν δυναμει

To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfil every desire of goodness and every work of faith, with power;

οπως ενδοξασθη το ονομα του Κυριου ημων Ιησου εν υμιν και υμεις εν αυτω κατα την χαριν του Θεου ημων και Κυριου Ιησου Χριστου

that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
