2 Thessalonians 1:9
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
8 in blazing fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
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.
11 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,
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
