2 Thessalonians 1:6

4 so that ^awe ourselves boast of you among the churches of God ^bfor your patience and faith ^cin all your persecutions and tribulations that you endure,

5 which is ^amanifest evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, ^bfor which you also suffer;

6 ^asince it is a righteous thing with God to repay with¹ tribulation those who trouble you,

7 and to give you who are troubled ^arest with us when ^bthe Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels,

8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 ^aThese shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and ^bfrom the glory of His power,

What Does 2 Thessalonians 1:6 Mean?

2 Thessalonians 1:6-10

Like one of the Old Testament prophets, Paul does not hold back. He had a thorough understanding of the Old Testament due to all of the studying he had done throughout his life, and he distills it here in just a few verses. He speaks of the flaming fire, the everlasting destruction, and the glory of Christ's power, giving us an indication that we, too, as New Testament Christians, ought to understand what is coming in detail.
