2 Thessalonians 1:7-10

Context
1:7 and to you who are being afflicted to give rest together with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed 1  from heaven with his mighty angels. 2  1:8 With flaming fire he will mete out 3  punishment on those who do not know God 4  and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 1:9 They 5  will undergo the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength, 6  1:10 when he comes to be glorified among his saints and admired 7  on that day among all who have believed – and you did in fact believe our testimony. 8

[1:7]  2 tn Grk “angels of power,” translated as an attributive genitive.

[1:8]  3 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.
