2 Thessalonians 1:5-12

English Standard Version

The Judgment at Christ's Coming

⁵ This is ^(A)evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be ^(B)considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering— ⁶ since indeed God considers it ^(C)just ^(D)to repay with affliction those who afflict you, ⁷ and to grant ^(E)relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when ^(F)the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven ^(G)with his mighty angels ^8 (H)in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those ^(I)who do not know God and on those who ^(J)do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. ⁹ They will suffer the punishment of ^(K)eternal destruction, ^(L)away from^[a] the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, ^10 (M)when he comes on ^(N)that day ^(O)to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our ^(P)testimony to you ^(Q)was believed. ¹¹ To this end we ^(R)always pray for you, that our God may ^(S)make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every ^(T)work of faith by his power, ¹² so that the name of our Lord Jesus ^(U)may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
