who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,
and from the glory of his power: The word "glory" (doxa) means "magnificence, excellence, preeminence, dignity, grace" (Thayer 156-1-1391). The glory of the Lord’s power is vividly described in Deuteronomy 33:2 and 1 Timothy 6:16. God dwells in light. Sinners will not share that light; they will be in outer darkness.
