perseverance and faith lin the midst of all your persecutions and afflictions which you endure. 5This is a mplain indication of God’s righteous judgment so that you will be nconsidered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering. 6 ▼

 , twhen the Lord Jesus will be revealed ufrom heaven vwith ▼
▼ Lit the angels of His power
His mighty angels xin flaming fire, 8dealing out retribution to those who ydo not know God and to those who zdo not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9These will pay the penalty of aaeternal destruction, abaway from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10when He comes to be acglorified ▼
