which is (A)manifest[a] evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, (B)for which you also suffer; (C)since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with [b]tribulation those who trouble you, and to give you who are troubled (D)rest with us when (E)the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. (F)These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and (G)from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes, in that Day, (H)to be (I)glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who [c]believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

ενδειγμα της δικαιας κρισεως του θεου εις το καταξιωθηναι υμας της βασιλειας του θεου υπερ ης και πασχετε

ειπερ δικαιον παρα θεω ανταποδουναι τοις θλιβουσιν υμας θλιψιν

και υμιν τοις θλιβομενοις ανεσιν μεθ ημων εν τη αποκαλυψει του κυριου ιησου απ ουρανου μετ αγγελων δυναμεως αυτου

εν πυρι φλογος διδοντος εκδικησιν τοις μη ειδοσιν θεον και τοις μη υπακουουσιν τω ευαγγελιω του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου

οιτινες δικην τισουσιν ολεθρον αιωνιον απο προσωπου του κυριου και απο της δοξης της ισχυος αυτου

10 οταν ελθη ενδοξασθηναι εν τοις αγιοις αυτου και θαυμασθηναι εν πασιν τοις πιστευουσιν οτι επιστευθη το μαρτυριον ημων εφ υμας εν τη ημερα εκεινη

a token of the righteous judgment of God, for your being counted worthy of the reign of God, for which also ye suffer,

since [it is] a righteous thing with God to give back to those troubling you -- trouble,

and to you who are troubled -- rest with us in the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with messengers of his power,

in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those not knowing God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ;

who shall suffer justice -- destruction age-during -- from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his strength,

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;

This is [a]a (A)plain indication of God’s righteous judgment so that you will be (B)considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you indeed are suffering. [b]For after all (C)it is only right [c]for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, and to give relief to you who are afflicted, along with us, [d](D)when the Lord Jesus will be revealed (E)from heaven (F)with [e]His mighty angels (G)in flaming fire, dealing out retribution to those who (H)do not know God, and to those who (I)do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. These people will pay the penalty of (J)eternal destruction, (K)away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes to be (L)glorified among His [f]saints on that (M)day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed—because our (N)testimony to you was believed.
