so that we ourselves boast in you in the churches of God about your patient endurance and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions that you are enduring,

a proof of the righteous judgment of God, so that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, on behalf of which also you are suffering,

since [it is] righteous in the sight of God to pay back those who are afflicting you with affliction,

and to you who are being afflicted, rest with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels,

and with every unrighteous deception against those who are perishing, in place of which they did not accept the love of the truth, so that they would be saved.

And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are both doing and you will do [the things] that we are commanding.

For we hear [that] some among you are living irresponsibly, working [at] nothing, but being busybodies.
