6since it is righteous for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you6since indeed God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you,
7and to reward with rest you who are afflicted, along with us. This will take place at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with His powerful angels, 7and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels

9These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction from the Lord's presence and from His glorious strength9They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,
10in that day when He comes to be glorified by His saints and to be admired by all those who have believed, because our testimony among you was believed. 10when he comes on that day to be glorified in his saints, and to be marveled at among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

12so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified by you, and you by Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. 12so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
