Passage Overview · Free · 2 Thessalonians 1:11–12
Worthy of the Calling—and the Name of Jesus Glorified
Paul turns from final judgment to prayer in the present. He asks God to make the Thessalonians worthy of their calling and bring their good purposes and works of faith to fulfillment by divine power.
Verse 12 contains a real Greek question. The closing phrase can be translated in a way that explicitly calls Jesus “our God and Lord,” but responsible grammarians disagree because “Lord Jesus Christ” functions like a familiar title. This study therefore shows both the grammatical possibility and the caution.
