For it is an act of righteousness on God's part to give trouble as their reward to those who are troubling you,

To give punishment to those who have no knowledge of God, and to those who do not give ear to the good news of our Lord Jesus:

At his coming, when he will have glory in his saints, and will be a cause of wonder in all those who had faith (because our witness among you had effect) in that day.

And with every deceit of wrongdoing among those whose fate is destruction; because they were quite without that love of the true faith by which they might have salvation.

Now we give you orders, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from all those whose behaviour is not well ordered and in harmony with the teaching which they had from us.
