since God considers it only just to repay with suffering those who are making you suffer

and to give rest to you who are suffering and to us, when our Lord Jesus appears from heaven, with his mighty angels

in a blaze of fire, and takes vengeance on the godless who will not listen to the good news of our Lord Jesus.

when on that Day he comes to be honored in his people, and wondered at in all who believe in him??ecause our testimony has been confirmed in you.

You must not let anyone deceive you at all. For that is not until the rebellion takes place and the embodiment of disobedience makes his appearance??e who is doomed to destruction,

For disobedience is already secretly at work, but only until he who is now holding it in check is gotten out of the way.

and full of wicked deception for men who are going to destruction, because they refused to love the truth and be saved.

so that all who have refused to believe the truth but have preferred disobedience may be condemned.

We always have to thank God for you, brothers whom the Lord so loves, because God chose you from the beginning to be saved through consecration by the Spirit and through faith in the truth,

May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and kindly given us unfailing encouragement and a well-founded hope,

We charge you, brothers, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who lives in idleness, instead of following the teaching you received from us.
