^16 (A)For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten ^(B)Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

^36 (A)He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the ^(B)wrath of God abides on him.”

²³ For ^(A)the wages of sin is death, but ^(B)the ^[a]gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

God’s Final Judgment and Glory

³ We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other, ⁴ so that ^(A)we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God ^(B)for your patience and faith ^(C)in all your persecutions and ^[a]tribulations that you endure, ⁵ which is ^(D)manifest^[b] evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, ^(E)for which you also suffer; ^6 (F)since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with ^[c]tribulation those who trouble you, ⁷ and to give you who are troubled ^(G)rest with us when ^(H)the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, ⁸ in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. ^9 (I)These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and ^(J)from the glory of His power, ¹⁰ when He comes, in that Day, ^(K)to be ^(L)glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who ^[d]believe, because our testimony among you was believed.
