2 Thessalonians 1:5-10

New International Reader's Version

⁵ All of this proves that when God judges, he is fair. So you will be considered worthy to enter God’s kingdom. You are suffering for his kingdom. ⁶ God is fair. He will pay back trouble to those who give you trouble. ⁷ He will help you who are troubled. And he will also help us. All these things will happen when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven. He will come in blazing fire. He will come with his powerful angels. ⁸ He will punish those who don’t know God. He will punish those who don’t obey the good news about our Lord Jesus. ⁹ They will be destroyed forever. They will be shut out of heaven. They will never see the glory of the Lord’s strength. ¹⁰ All these things will happen when he comes. On that day his glory will be seen in his holy people. Everyone who has believed will be amazed when they see him. This includes you, because you believed the witness we gave you.
