2 Thessalonians 1:4-6

New Century Version

⁴ So we brag about you to the other churches of God. We tell them about the way you continue to be strong and have faith even though you are being treated badly and are suffering many troubles.

⁵ This is proof that God is right in his judgment. He wants you to be counted worthy of his kingdom for which you are suffering. ⁶ God will do what is right. He will give trouble to those who trouble you.
