Thessalonians 1:6-7
God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you 7 and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.
“He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.”
“They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord.”
