2 Thessalonians 1:5-10

New Century Version

⁵ This is proof that God is right in his judgment. He wants you to be counted worthy of his kingdom for which you are suffering. ⁶ God will do what is right. He will give trouble to those who trouble you. ⁷ And he will give rest to you who are troubled and to us also when the Lord Jesus appears with burning fire from heaven with his powerful angels. ⁸ Then he will punish those who do not know God and who do not obey the Good News about our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ Those people will be punished with a destruction that continues forever. They will be kept away from the Lord and from his great power. ¹⁰ This will happen on the day when the Lord Jesus comes to receive glory because of his holy people. And all the people who have believed will be amazed at Jesus. You will be in that group, because you believed what we told you.
