2 Thessalonians 1:5-10

Expanded Bible

⁵ This is ·proof [evidence] that God is ·right [just; righteous] in his judgment. ·He wants you to be counted […so that you will be considered; or …to make you] worthy of his kingdom for which you are suffering. ⁶ [^LFor] God ·will do what is right [is just/righteous]. He will ·give trouble to [pay back with trials/hardship] those who ·trouble [inflict trials/hardships on] you. ⁷ And he will give rest to you who are ·troubled [suffering trials/hardships] and to us also when the Lord Jesus ·appears [is revealed] ·with blazing fire from heaven [or from heaven; ^C“with blazing fire” may go with the next sentence] with his powerful angels. ⁸ Then he will ·punish [or punish with blazing fire] those who do not know God [Jer. 10:25] and who do not obey the ·Good News about [Gospel of] our Lord Jesus. ⁹ Those people will be punished with a ·destruction that continues forever [eternal destruction], ·separated from [^L…from] the presence of the Lord and from ·his great power [or the glory of his strength; or his glorious strength]. ¹⁰ This will happen on the day when ·the Lord Jesus [^Lhe] comes to ·receive glory [be glorified] ·because of [or among; or in; or from] his holy people. And all the people who have believed will ·be amazed at [marvel at] Jesus. You will be in that group, because you believed ·what we told [our testimony to] you.
