2 Thessalonians 1:5-10
Wycliffe Bible
5 into the ensample [into the example] of the just doom of God, that ye be had worthy in the kingdom of God, for which ye suffer.
6 If nevertheless it is just before God [If nevertheless it is just at God] to requite tribulation to them that trouble you,
7 and to you that be troubled, rest with us in the showing of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with angels of his virtue,
8 in the flame of fire, that shall give vengeance to them that know not God [in the flame of fire, giving vengeance to them that know not God], and that obey not to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Which shall suffer everlasting pains, in perishing from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his virtue,
10 when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be made wonderful in all men that believed, for our witnessing is believed on you, in that day.

2 Thessalonians 1:5-10
New Matthew Bible
5 which is a sign of the righteous judgment of God, that you are counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you also suffer.
6 It is surely a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to those who trouble you; 7 and to you who are troubled, rest with us when the Lord Jesus shows himself from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 in flaming fire, rendering vengeance to those who do not know God, and to those who will not heed the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 These shall be punished with everlasting damnation, separated from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power, 10 when he comes to be glorified in his saints and to be made marvelous in all who believe, because our testimony to you was believed even the same day that we preached it.
