2 Thessalonians 1:7-8

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.

tn Grk “at the revelation of the Lord Jesus.”

tn Grk “angels of power,” translated as an attributive genitive.

tn Grk “meting out,” as a description of Jesus Christ in v. 7. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 8 in the translation.

sn An allusion to Jer 10:25, possibly also to Ps 79:6 and Isa 66:15.
