Context
1:4 As a result we ourselves boast about you in the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and afflictions you are enduring .
Encouragement in Persecution
1:5 This is evidence of God’s righteous judgment , to make you worthy of the kingdom of God , for which in fact you are suffering .
1:6 For it is right for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you ,
1:7 and to you who are being afflicted to give rest together with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels .
1:8 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 .
1:9 They will undergo the penalty of eternal destruction , away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength ,
1:10 when he comes to be glorified among his saints and admired on that day among all who have believed – and you did in fact believe our testimony .
1:11 And in this regard we pray for you always , that our God will make you worthy of his calling and fulfill by his power your every desire for goodness and every work of faith ,
1:12 that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you , and you in him , according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ .
