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,

when he comes to be glorified in his saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believedbecause our testimony to you was believed.

Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?

For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you,

For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If anyone will not work, he shall not eat."
