2 Thessalonians 1:5-10
1599 Geneva Bible
5 (A)[a]Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for the which ye also suffer.
6 [b]For it is a righteous thing with God, to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you,
7 And to you which are troubled, rest [c]with us, (B)[d]when the Lord Jesus shall show himself from heaven with his mighty Angels,
8 In flaming fire, rendering vengeance unto them, [e]that do not know God, and which obey not unto the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ,
9 Which shall be punished with everlasting perdition 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 made marvelous in all them that believe ([f]because our testimony toward you was believed) in that day.
