2 Thessalonians / Question
Question source
2 Thessalonians
Paul says thanksgiving is fitting because their “faith is growing abundantly” and their love “is increasing” (2 Thessalonians 1:3). He also points to their “steadfastness and faith” in persecutions and afflictions (2 Thessalonians 1:4).
3We 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 towards one another abounds;
4so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.
