1 Esta carta viene de Pablo, Silvano y Timoteo, para la iglesia de los tesalonicenses que pertenecen a Dios, nuestro Padre, y al Señor Jesucristo.
1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Tengan gracia y paz de parte de Dios el Padre y del Señor Jesucristo.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Seguimos agradeciendo a Dios por ustedes, hermanos y hermanas, pues es lo menos que podemos hacer. Es lo que debemos hacer porque su fe en Dios está floreciendo, y el amor que todos ustedes tienen unos por otros aumenta cada vez más.
3 We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you toward one another abounds,
4 Hablamos con orgullo de ustedes entre las iglesias de Dios por su ánimo perseverante y fe en Dios, en medio de toda la persecución y las dificultades que han sufrido.
4 so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.
5 Porque esta es la evidencia de que Dios es justo en sus decisiones, que ustedes merecen el reino de Dios por el cual sufren.
5 This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of God’s Kingdom, for which you also suffer.
6 Puesto que Dios hace lo recto, él se encargará apropiadamente de aquellos que les causan dificultad.
6 For it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,
7 Él los libertará de su sufrimiento—y a nosotros también—cuando el Señor Jesús aparezca del cielo con fuego consumidor, con sus ángeles poderosos,
7 and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,
8 y trayendo juicio sobre aquellos que rechazan a Dios y se niegan a aceptar la buena nueva de nuestro Señor Jesús.
8 punishing those who don’t know God, and to those who don’t obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,
9 Ellos recibirán las consecuencias justas de la perdición eterna, separados de la presencia del Señor y de su glorioso poder,
9 who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,
10 el día que él venga a recibir gloria de su pueblo, admirado por todos los que confían en él. Esto los incluye a ustedes, porque ustedes se convencieron de lo que les predicamos.
10 when he comes in that day to be glorified in his saints and to be admired among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.
11 Por eso seguimos orando por ustedes, para que nuestro Dios los haga dignos del llamado que nos ha hecho. Que Dios cumpla poderosamente cada deseo que tienen ustedes de hacer el bien, y cada acción que nace de la fe en él,
11 To this end we also pray always for you that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power,
12 a fin de que el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesús sea honrado en lo que ustedes hacen, y a la vez ustedes sean honrados por él mediante la gracia de nuestro Dios y del Señor Jesucristo.
12 that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

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.
