and to give relief to you who are afflicted, along with us, [a](A)when the Lord Jesus will be revealed (B)from heaven (C)with [b]His mighty angels (D)in flaming fire, dealing out retribution to those who (E)do not know God, and to those who (F)do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. These people will pay the penalty of (G)eternal destruction, (H)away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes to be (I)glorified among His [c]saints on that (J)day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed—because our (K)testimony to you was believed. 11 To this end also we (L)pray for you always, that our God will (M)consider you worthy of your (N)calling, and fulfill every desire for (O)goodness and the (P)work of faith with power, 12 so that the (Q)name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, in accordance with the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

11 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:

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 the Lord Jesus Christ.
