2 Thessalonians 1:4-10

4Therefore, we ourselves boast about you among God’s churches — about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and afflictions that you are enduring.

5It is clear evidence of God’s righteous judgment that you will be counted worthy of God’s kingdom, for which you also are suffering,

6since it is just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you

7and to give relief to you who are afflicted, along with us. This will take place at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels,

8when he takes vengeance with flaming fire on those who don’t know God and on those who don’t obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

9They will pay the penalty of eternal destruction from the Lord’s presence and from his glorious strength

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