²⁴ For the Lord your God is a ^(A)consuming fire, a ^(B)jealous God.

³ Know therefore today that ^(A)it is the Lord your God who is crossing over before you as ^(B)a consuming fire. He will destroy them and He will subdue them before you, so that ^(C)you may drive them out and destroy them quickly, just as the Lord has spoken to you.

⁷ and to give relief to you who are afflicted ^[a]and to us as well ^[b](A)when the Lord Jesus will be revealed ^(B)from heaven ^(C)with ^[c]His mighty angels ^(D)in flaming fire,

²⁷ but a terrifying expectation of ^(A)judgment and ^(B)the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries.

³¹ It is a ^(A)terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the ^(B)living God.
