2 Thessalonians 2:12-13

12As a result, God will punish all of them. They have refused to believe what is true. Instead, they have enjoyed doing very bad things.

13We always thank God for you, our Christian friends that the Lord loves. We ought to thank God, because he has chosen to save you. God chose you to belong to him, as some of the first people that he would save. You believed God's true message. And God's Spirit makes you separate from things that are bad.
