an indication of the righteous judgment of God, by which ye will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye are also suffering;

since it will be just with God to repay distress to them that distress you,

who will be punished with everlasting destruction proceeding from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his power,

Let no one deceive you in any manner; for [that day will not come] unless the apostasy shall have come first and the man of sin have been revealed, the son of perdition;

and then will the lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will consume with the breath of his mouth, and destroy with the manifestation of his coming;

But faithful is the Lord, who will establish you, and guard you from evil.

And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.

For also when we were with you, this we commanded you: If any one will not work, neither let him eat.
