"giving vengeance to those who don't know God, and to those who don't obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,"
— 2 Thessalonians 1:8, World English Bible
“In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:”
“rendering vengeance to them that know not God, and to them that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus: ”
“With flaming fire he will mete out punishment on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.”
“In a flame of fire, giving vengeance to them who know not God and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
“To give punishment to those who have no knowledge of God, and to those who do not give ear to the good news of our Lord Jesus:”
“In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:”
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,
when he comes to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired among all those who have believed (because our testimony to you was believed) in that day.
To this end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith, with power;
