2 Thessalonians 1:11
9 They will suffer the penalty of eternal destruction, separated from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His might,
10 on the day He comes to be glorified in His saints and regarded with wonder by all who have believed, including you who have believed our testimony.
To this end, we always pray for you, that our God will count you worthy of His calling, and that He will powerfully fulfill your every good desire and work of faith,
12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
