rsv 2Thessalonians:1:5-9
rsv@2Thessalonians:1:5 @ This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be made worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering--
rsv@2Thessalonians:1:6 @ since indeed God deems it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you,
rsv@2Thessalonians:1:7 @ and to grant rest with us to you who are afflicted, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,
rsv@2Thessalonians:1:8 @ inflicting vengeance upon those who do not know God and upon those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
rsv@2Thessalonians:1:9 @ They shall suffer the punishment of eternal destruction and exclusion from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,
