Deus é justo e retribuirá com aflição àqueles que agora vos afligem. E quanto aos que têm sido atribulados, tal como nós também, Deus nos dará descanso, quando o Senhor Jesus se manifestar, descendo do céu com os anjos, cheio de poder, como labareda de um fogo, castigando os que não conhecem a Deus e recusam obedecer ao evangelho de nosso Senhor Jesus. O castigo destes será a perdição eterna, privados da presença do Senhor, assim como do seu glorioso poder. 10 Quando Cristo vier de novo todos os que são seus lhe darão louvores. E vocês estarão entre esses, porque creram no testemunho que temos dado de Deus.

11 É por isso que sempre oramos a Deus por vós, pedindo-lhe que vos faça dignos do destino para o qual vos chamou; que cumpra tudo aquilo que na sua bondade decidiu a vosso favor e vos ajude a realizar, através do seu poder, a obra da vossa fé. 12 Oramos assim para que o nome do nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo seja honrado através das vossas vidas e para que também recebam honra juntamente com ele. E isso será possível pela graça do nosso Deus e do Senhor Jesus Cristo.

5-10 All this trouble is a clear sign that God has decided to make you fit for the kingdom. You’re suffering now, but justice is on the way. When the Master Jesus appears out of heaven in a blaze of fire with his strong angels, he’ll even up the score by settling accounts with those who gave you such a bad time. His coming will be the break we’ve been waiting for. Those who refuse to know God and refuse to obey the Message will pay for what they’ve done. Eternal exile from the presence of the Master and his splendid power is their sentence. But on that very same day when he comes, he will be exalted by his followers and celebrated by all who believe—and all because you believed what we told you.

11-12 Because we know that this extraordinary day is just ahead, we pray for you all the time—pray that our God will make you fit for what he’s called you to be, pray that he’ll fill your good ideas and acts of faith with his own energy so that it all amounts to something. If your life honors the name of Jesus, he will honor you. Grace is behind and through all of this, our God giving himself freely, the Master, Jesus Christ, giving himself freely.

God is just:(A) He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you(B) and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven(C) in blazing fire(D) with his powerful angels.(E) He will punish(F) those who do not know God(G) and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.(H) They will be punished with everlasting destruction(I) and shut out from the presence of the Lord(J) and from the glory of his might(K) 10 on the day(L) he comes to be glorified(M) in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.(N)

11 With this in mind, we constantly pray for you,(O) that our God may make you worthy(P) of his calling,(Q) and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness(R) and your every deed prompted by faith.(S) 12 We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you,(T) and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.[a]
