1 PABLO, y Silvano, y Timoteo, á la iglesia de los Tesalonicenses [que es] en Dios nuestro Padre y en el Señor Jesucristo: 2 Gracia y paz á vosotros de Dios nuestro Padre y del Señor Jesucristo. 3 Debemos siempre dar gracias á Dios de vosotros, hermanos, como es digno, por cuanto vuestra fe va creciendo, y la caridad de cada uno de todos vosotros abunda entre vosotros; 4 Tanto, que nosotros mismos nos gloriamos de vosotros en las iglesias de Dios, de vuestra paciencia y fe en todas vuestras persecuciones y tribulaciones que sufrís: 5 Una demostración del justo juicio de Dios, para que seáis tenidos por dignos del reino de Dios, por el cual asimismo padecéis. 6 Porque es justo para con Dios pagar con tribulación á los que os atribulan. 7 Y á vosotros, que sois atribulados, [dar] reposo con nosotros, cuando se manifestará el Señor Jesús del cielo con los ángeles de su potencia, 8 En llama de fuego, para dar el pago á los que no conocieron á Dios, ni obedecen al evangelio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo; 9 Los cuales serán castigados de eterna perdición por la presencia del Señor, y por la gloria de su potencia, 10 Cuando viniere para ser glorificado en sus santos, y á hacerse admirable en aquel día en todos los que creyeron: (por cuanto nuestro testimonio ha sido creído entre vosotros.) 11 Por lo cual, asimismo oramos siempre por vosotros, que nuestro Dios os tenga por dignos de [su] vocación, é hincha de bondad todo buen intento, y [toda] obra de fe con potencia, 12 Para que el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea glorificado en vosotros, y vosotros en él, por la gracia de nuestro Dios y del Señor Jesucristo.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
The greater part of men do and devise all things with a view to ingratiate themselves with rulers, and with those who are greater than themselves; and they account it a great thing, and think themselves happy, if they can obtain that object.
