A proof of the righteous judgment of God, to the end ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, in behalf of which ye are also suffering: -

If, at least, it is a, righteous thing with God, to recompense, affliction, unto them that afflict you,

And, unto you that are afflicted, release, with us, - by the revealing of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with his messengers of power,

In a fiery flame; holding forth vengeance - against them that refuse to know God, and them who decline to hearken unto the glad-message of our Lord Jesus,

Who, indeed, a penalty, shall pay - age-abiding destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might -

Whensoever he shall come, to be made all-glorious in his saints, and to be marvelled at in all who believed, - because our witness unto you was believed, - in that day.
