Paul, Silas and Timothy,
To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so,
because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another
is increasing. Therefore, among God’s churches we boast about your perseverance and
faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.
All this is evidence that God’s judgment is right, and as a result you will be
counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. God is just: He will pay
back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as
well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with His
powerful angels. He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of
our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the
presence of the Lord and from the glory of His might on the day He comes to be glorified in
His holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes
you, because you believed our testimony to you.
With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may make you worthy
of His calling, and that by His power He may bring to fruition your every desire for
goodness and your every deed prompted by faith. We pray this so 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.

Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite
your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they
may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the
poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay
you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
When one of those at the table with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is
the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”
Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many
guests. At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited,
‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
“But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I
must go and see it. Please excuse me.’ “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of
oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.’ “Still another said, ‘I just got
married, so I can’t come.’ “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then
the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the
streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’
“‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’ “Then the
master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come
in, so that my house will be full. I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste
of my banquet.’”
