(…this is evidence of the just judgement of God)
… if indeed it is just for God
to pay your trouble
back to those who trouble you
and relieve you
who are being troubled
with us,
at the revelation of our Lord Jesus
from heaven
with his powerful angels
in flaming fire
giving punishment to those who do not know God
and those who do not obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,
who will suffer punishment,
– eternal destruction –
from before God
and from the glory of his strength,
when he comes to receive glory
among his holy ones
and to be marvelled at by all who believe,
— because you believe our testimony
among you.
God be in head and in my understanding;
God be in my eyes and in my looking;
God be in my mouth and in my speaking;
God be in my heart and in my thinking;
God be at my end and at my departing.
on that day.
