Nearby Context

2 Thessalonians 1:10 when He may come to be glorified in his saints, and to be wondered at in all those believing--because our testimony was believed among you--in that day;

2 Thessalonians 1:11 for which also we do pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfil all the good pleasure of goodness, and the work of the faith in power,

2 Thessalonians 1:12 that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "glorified", "grace", "name", "lord", "jesus", and "christ". It is saying that salvation is received as God's gift through faith, so boasting is pushed out by the wording itself.

The prior verse says "for which also we do pray always...", giving immediate footing for "glorified" and "grace". In 2 Thessalonians context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "glorified" and "grace" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
