2 Thessalonians 1:8

Jesus
JudgmentThe return of Christ

6 After all, it is only right for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

7 and to grant relief to you who are oppressed and to us as well. This will take place when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels

in blazing fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

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.
