| 5This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering— | 5All this is clear evidence of God’s righteous judgment. And so you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. |
| 6since indeed God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you, | 6After all, it is only right for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, |
| 7and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels | 7and to grant relief to you who are oppressed and to us as well. This will take place when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels |
| 8in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. | 8in blazing fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. |
| 9They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, | 9They will suffer the penalty of eternal destruction, separated from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His might, |
| 10when he comes on that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed. | 10on the day He comes to be glorified in His saints and regarded with wonder by all who have believed, including you who have believed our testimony. |
| 11To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, | 11To this end, we always pray for you, that our God will count you worthy of His calling, and that He will powerfully fulfill your every good desire and work of faith, |
| 12so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. | 12so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. |
