⁷ To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor^(A) and immortality,^(B) he will give eternal life.^(C)

¹⁰ but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.^(A)

⁵ Therefore judge nothing^(A) before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes.^(B) He will bring to light^(C) what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.^(D)

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^(A) in blazing fire^(B) with his powerful angels.^{(C) 8} He will punish^(D) those who do not know God^(E) and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.^{(F) 9} They will be punished with everlasting destruction^(G) and shut out from the presence of the Lord^(H) and from the glory of his might^{(I) 10} on the day^(J) he comes to be glorified^(K) in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.^(L)

¹¹ With this in mind, we constantly pray for you,^(M) that our God may make you worthy^(N) of his calling,^(O) and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness^(P) and your every deed prompted by faith.^{(Q) 12} We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you,^(R) and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.^[a]
