5 This shows God’s righteous judgement in that you’re considered worthy to enter God’s kingdom because of what you’ve had to suffer. 6 God is righteous and he’s the one who will repay those who oppress you and make life difficult for you all, 7 then all of you who’ve been oppressed will be able to relax when the master Yeshua comes back from heaven with his powerful army. 8 With a fiery flame he’ll judge those who don’t know God and those who haven’t accepted the good message of our master Yeshua Messiah. 9 [ref]They’ll be sentenced to eternal destruction—banished from the master’s presence and from the display of his strength 10 when he’ll be honoured by his righteous followers and to be admired by those who believe in him just as you believed our testimony to all of you.

11 We’re also praying all the time for you all that you’ll be considered worthy of our God’s calling and will live out your good intentions and demonstrate your faith with power 12 so that the reputation of our master Yeshua will be honoured in you all, and you in him, thanks to the grace of our God and of the master Yeshua Messiah.
