2 Thessalonians 1:6–10

Paul speaks of relief for the afflicted and God's justice when the Lord is revealed

6if indeed it is righteous with God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

7and to give relief to you who are afflicted along with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of his power,

8in a flame of fire, inflicting punishment on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the good news of our Lord Jesus.

9They will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

10when he comes to be glorified in his saints and to be marveled at among all who have believed —because our testimony to you was believed— on that day.

In its context

4so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions that you are enduring.

5This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, so that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering,

…

11To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may consider you worthy of his calling and fulfill with power every desire for goodness and work of faith,

12so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus the Messiah.
