"Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,"
— 2 Thessalonians 1:6, World English Bible
“Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;”
“if so be that it is a righteous thing with God to recompense affliction to them that afflict you, ”
“For it is right for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,”
“Seeing it is a just thing with God to repay tribulation to them that trouble you:”
“For it is an act of righteousness on God's part to give trouble as their reward to those who are troubling you,”
“Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;”
We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you towards one another abounds;
so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.
This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God, for which you also suffer.
Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,
and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,
giving vengeance to those who don't know God, and to those who don't obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,
who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,
