Commentary
Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
a conjunction of cause, is used in this case not for the purpose of doubting but for affirmation, as if he were saying, "Since it is just for God to do this."
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
from heaven, coming to judge.
with the Angels of his virtue, just as he Himself says, "When the Son of man will come, and all the angels with him." (Mt 25:31)
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
It also refers to the heretics and the false Christians
And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
So much so that He gave us His only Son.
And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.
