It is a clear evidence of God’s righteous judgment that you will be counted worthy of God’s kingdom, for which you also are suffering,

and to reward with rest you who are afflicted, along with us. This will take place at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with His powerful angels,

and with every unrighteous deception among those who are perishing. They perish because they did not accept the love of the truth in order to be saved.

We have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do what we command.

For we hear that there are some among you who walk irresponsibly, not working at all, but interfering with the work of others.
