The Judgment at Christ's Coming

2 Thessalonians 1

⁵ This is _f evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be _g considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering - ⁶ since indeed God considers it _h just _i to repay with affliction those who afflict you, ⁷ and to grant _j relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when _k the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven _l with his mighty angels ⁸ _m in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those _n who do not know God and on those who _o do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. ⁹ They will suffer the punishment of _p eternal destruction, _q away from ₁ the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, ¹⁰ _r when he comes on _s that day _t to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our _u testimony to you _v was believed. ¹¹ To this end we _w always pray for you, that our God may _x make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every _y work of faith by his power, ¹² so that the name of our Lord Jesus _z may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
