2 Thessalonians 1:5

Read in context

2 Thessalonians 1:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 We are obligated to thank God for you all the time, brothers, as is fitting, because your faith is growing more and more, and your love for one another is increasing.

4 That is why we boast among God’s churches about your perseverance and faith in the face of all the persecution and affliction you are enduring.

5 All this is clear evidence of God’s righteous judgment. And so you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering.

6 After all, it is only right for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

7 and 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
