This is a plain indication of God's righteous judgment so that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you indeed are suffering.

Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

For after all it is only right for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

and to give relief to you who are afflicted, along with us, when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels

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

in flaming fire, dealing out retribution to those who do not know God, and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

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

These people will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,

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

when He comes to be glorified among His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed—because our testimony to you was believed.

When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
