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

and to give relief to you who are afflicted and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire,

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

For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies.
