since it is righteous for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you

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,

taking vengeance with flaming fire on those who don’t know God and on those who don’t obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

in that day when He comes to be glorified by His saints and to be admired by all those who have believed, because our testimony among you was believed.

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.

so that all will be condemned—those who did not believe the truth but enjoyed unrighteousness.

May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal encouragement and good hope by grace,

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from every brother who walks irresponsibly and not according to the tradition received from us.

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