To repay affliction to those who afflict you.

Gary Shogren comments, "Once again, almost causually, an attribute of Yahweh is attributed to the Lord Jesus. The Lord of hosts, who comes with the armies of heaven, is now seen to be the Lord Jesus, who comes with his angelic army" (1 & 2 Thessalonians, ZECNT: Grand Rapids, 2012).
