2 Thessalonians 1:6-8

6 For it is right[a] for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, 7 and to you who are being afflicted to give rest together with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed[b] from heaven with his mighty angels.[c] 8 With flaming fire he will mete out[d] punishment on those who do not know God[e] and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
