2 Thessalonians 1:6

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,

10 when He comes, in that Day, ^ato be ^bglorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who¹ believe, because our testimony among you was believed.

<< 2 Thessalonians 1:5

2 Thessalonians 1:7 >>

seeing it is a righteous thing—This justifies the assertion above of there being a "righteous judgment" (II Thessalonians 1:5), namely, "seeing that it is (literally, 'if at least,' 'if at all events it is') a righteous thing with (that is, in the estimation of) God" (which, as we all feel, it certainly is). Our own innate feeling of what is just, in this confirms what is revealed.

recompense—requite in kind, namely, tribulation to them that trouble you (affliction to those that afflict you); and to you who are troubled, rest from trouble.
