2 Thessalonians 1:5-10

God’s Righteous Judgment
5 This is a (A)plain indication of God’s righteous judgment so that you will be (B)considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering. 6 [a]Since (C)it is right [b]for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, 7 and to give rest to you who are afflicted [c]and to us as well (D)at the revelation of the Lord Jesus (E)from heaven (F)with [d]His mighty angels (G)in flaming fire, 8 executing vengeance on those who (H)do not know God and to those who (I)do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 These will pay the penalty of (J)eternal destruction, (K)away from the presence of the [e]Lord and from the glory of His might, 10 when He comes to be (L)glorified [f]in His [g]saints on that (M)day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed—for our (N)witness to you was believed.

2 Thessalonians 1:5-10
American Standard Version
5 which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God; to the end that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 6 if so be that it is a righteous thing with God to recompense affliction to them that afflict you, 7 and to you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power in flaming fire, 8 rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the [a]gospel of our Lord Jesus: 9 who shall suffer punishment, even eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might, 10 when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be marvelled at in all them that believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in that day.
