2 THESSALONIANS 1:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 2
“Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:”
To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every good resolve and work of faith by his power — the prayer-wish invokes God's power to perfect what he has begun. 'Worthy of his calling' (axios tēs klēseōs) is both present responsibility and future realization. Faith's works are God-empowered.
