who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out, and didn’t please God, and are contrary to all men;
punishing those who don’t know God, and to those who don’t obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,
who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,
and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
