“But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.”
But a fearful expectation of judgment and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries — those who deliberately turn from Christ face divine judgment (krinō) and the consuming fire (pyr esthlion) of God's wrath. The imagery recalls Malachi 3:2; fire indicates absolute judgment.
