Connecting Statement:

As Paul continues, he talks about God being just.

It is righteous for God

"God is right" or "God is just"

for God to return affliction to those who afflict you, and relief to you

Here "to return" is a metaphor that means to cause someone to experience the same thing they did to someone else. Alternate translation: "for God to afflict those who afflict you, and to relieve you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
