2 Thessalonians 1:3-4

We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love everyone of you has for each other is increasing. Therefore, among God's churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all persecutions and trials you are enduring.

We ought always to thank God for you, brothers
Romans 1:8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world.
Ephesians 5:20 ... always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing
1 Thessalonians 3:12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.

Therefore, among God's churches we boast
2 Corinthians 7:14 I had boasted to him about you, and you have not embarrassed me. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting about you to Titus has proved to be true as well.

about your perseverance and faith
1 Thessalonians 1:3 We continually remember your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring
1 Thessalonians 1:6 You became imitators of us and of the Lord; in spite of severe suffering, you welcomed the message with the joy given by the Holy Spirit.
1 Thessalonians 2:14 For you, brothers, became imitators of God's churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own countrymen the same things those churches suffered from the Jews, ...
1 Thessalonians 3:2-3 We sent Timothy, who is our brother and God's fellow worker in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith, so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. You know quite well that we were destined for them.
