3. Brothers and sisters, we should always thank God for you. That is only right, because your faith is growing more and more. The love you all have for each other is increasing.
4. So among God's churches we brag about the fact that you don't give up easily. We brag about your faith in all the suffering and testing you are going through.
5. All of this proves that when God judges, he is fair. So you will be considered worthy to enter God's kingdom. You are suffering for his kingdom.
6. God is fair. He will pay back trouble to those who give you trouble.
7. He will help you who are troubled. And he will also help us. All of those things will happen when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven. He will come in blazing fire. He will come with the angels who are given the power to do what God wants.
