2 Thessalonians 1:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 Which shall be punished with everlasting perdition from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power,
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his Saints, and to be made marvelous in all them that believe ([a]because our testimony toward you was believed) in that day.
11 [b]Wherefore, we also pray always for you, that our God may make you worthy of [c]this calling, and fulfill [d]all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the [e]work of faith with power.

- 2 Thessalonians 1:10 The children of God shall be counted by the faith which they have in the Gospel, which is preached unto them by the Apostles.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:11 Seeing that we have the mark set before us, it remaineth that we go unto it. And we go to it, by certain degrees of causes: first by the free love and good pleasure of God, by virtue whereof all other inferior causes work: from thence proceedeth the free calling to Christ, and from calling, faith, whereupon followeth both the glorifying of Christ in us, and us in Christ.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:11 By (calling) he meaneth not the very act of calling, but that selfsame thing whereunto we are called, which is the glory of that heavenly kingdom.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:11 Which he determined long since, only upon his gracious and merciful goodness toward you.
- 2 Thessalonians 1:11 So then, faith is an excellent work of God in us: and we see here plainly that the Apostle leaveth nothing to free will, to make it checkmate with God’s working therein, as the Papists dream.
