New International Reader's Version

2 Thessalonians 1:8-11 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

8. He will punish those who don't know God. He will punish those who don't obey the good news about our Lord Jesus.

9. They will be destroyed forever. They will be shut out of heaven. They will never see the glory of the Lord's power.

10. All of those things will happen when he comes. On that day his glory will be seen in his holy people. Everyone who has believed will be amazed when they see him. That includes you, because you believed the witness we gave you.

11. Keeping this in mind, we never stop praying for you. Our God has chosen you. We pray that he will consider you worthy of his choice. We pray that by his power he will make every good thing you have planned come true. We pray that he will make perfect all that you have done by faith.
