* We are bound to thank God always for you , brethren , as it is fitting , because your faith grows exceedingly , and the love of every one of you all abounds toward each other , * so that we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure , * which is manifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God , that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God , for which you also suffer ; * since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you , * and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels , * in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God , and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ . * These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power , * when He comes , in that Day , to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe , because our testimony among you was believed . * Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling , and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power , * that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you , and you in Him , according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ .
