2 THESSALONIANS 1:5 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:”
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 — the persecution itself is a sign (endeigma) of God's righteous judgment (dikaiosynē tou theou); tribulation is cosmic vindication. Worthy suffering (axios) anticipates eschatological reward.
