| 6Certainly it is right for God to pay back those who afflict you with affliction, | 6After all, it is only right for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, |
| 7and to give us who are afflicted relief when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels | 7and 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 |
| 8in blazing fire. He will take revenge on those who do not know God and on those who refuse to obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. | 8in blazing fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. |
| 9Such people will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction by being separated from the Lord's presence and from his glorious power | 9They will suffer the penalty of eternal destruction, separated from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His might, |
| 10when he comes to be glorified by his saints and to be regarded with wonder on that day by all who have believed—including you, because you believed our testimony. | 10on 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. |
| 11With this in mind, we always pray for you, asking that our God might make you worthy of his calling and that through his power he might help you accomplish every good desire and faithful action. | 11To 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, |
| 12That way the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified by you, and you by him, according to the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus, the Messiah. | 12so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. |
