2 Thessalonians 1:8 in Context — 2 Thessalonians 1

6 Car il est de la justice de Dieu de rendre l’affliction à ceux qui vous affligent,

7 et de vous donner, à vous qui êtes affligés, du repos avec nous, lorsque le Seigneur Jésus apparaîtra du ciel avec les anges de sa puissance,

8 au milieu d’une flamme de feu, pour punir ceux qui ne connaissent pas Dieu et ceux qui n’obéissent pas à l’Évangile de notre Seigneur Jésus.

9 Ils auront pour châtiment une ruine éternelle, loin de la face du Seigneur et de la gloire de sa force,

10 lorsqu’il viendra pour être, en ce jour-là, glorifié dans ses saints et admiré dans tous ceux qui auront cru, car notre témoignage auprès de vous a été cru.
