2 Thessalonians 1:6

_ _ seeing it is a righteous thing — This justifies the assertion above of there being a “righteous judgment” (2 Thessalonians 1:5), namely, “seeing that it is (literally, ‘if at least,’ ‘if at all events it is’) a righteous thing with (that is, in the estimation of) God” (which, as we all feel, it certainly is). Our own innate feeling of what is just, in this confirms what is revealed.

_ _ recompense — requite in kind, namely, tribulation to them that trouble you (affliction to those that afflict you); and to you who are troubled, rest from trouble.

See commentary on 2 Thessalonians 1:5-10.

2 Thessalonians 1:6

It is a righteous thing with God — (However men may judge) to transfer the pressure from you to them. And it is remarkable that about this time, at the passover, the Jews raising a tumult, a great number (some say thirty thousand) of them were slain. St. Paul seems to allude to this beginning of sorrows, 1 Thessalonians 2:16, which did not end but with their destruction.
