God’s Final Judgment and glory

3We are bound to thank God always for you^p, brethren, as it is meet, because that your^p faith grows exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you^p all toward each other abounds;   fitting; love; overflows

4So that we ourselves glory in you^p in the churches of God for your^p patience and faith in all your^p persecutions and tribulations that you^p endure:   speak proudly of; afflictions

5Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that you^p may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you^p also suffer:   visible, evident

6Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you^p;   repay with affliction

7And to you^p who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels,

8In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:   ISA 1:28

9Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power;

10When He shall come to be glorified in His saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you^p was believed) in that day.   ones devoted to God, believers

11Wherefore also we pray always for you^p, that our God would count you^p worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness, and the work of faith with power:

12That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you^p, and you^p in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
