2 Thessalonians 1:
5 This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering— 6 since indeed God considers it just to repay with affliction those who afflict you, 7 and to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven ...[text shortened]... y fulfill every
good work in the faith by His power. (note: God in us is required for that now)
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 KJV)
Jesus is going to destroy those who do not obey his commandments
I hope you got that.

Dude, I was agreeing with you. (While simultaneously showing you up with a more serendipitously selected passage).
Thanks for setting it straight! Sir.
edit: And I noticed that I didn't get a "sir" in your reply to me. Are you slipping, or, have I been demoted? 😛
