This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
A manifest token of the righteous judgment of God (endeigma tēs dikaias kriseōs tou theou). Old word from endeiknumi, to point out, result reached (̇ma), a thing proved. It is either in the accusative of general reference in apposition with the preceding clause as in Rom 8:3; Rom 12:1, or in the nominative absolute when ho estin, if supplied, would explain it as in Phi 1:28. This righteous judgment is future and final (2Th 1:6-10).
To the end that you may be counted worthy (eis to kataxiōthēnai humas). Another example of eis to for purpose with first aorist passive infinitive from kataxioō, old verb, with accusative of general reference humas and followed by the genitive tēs basileias (kingdom of God). See note on 1Th 2:12 for kingdom of God.
For which ye also suffer (huper hēs kai paschete). Ye also as well as we and the present tense means that it is still going on.
