2 Thessalonians 1:6

1:6 For it is right ¹  for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

2 Thessalonians 2:11-12

2:11 Consequently ²  God sends on them a deluding influence ³  so that they will believe what is false. 2:12 And so ⁴  all of them who have not believed the truth but have delighted in evil will be condemned. ⁵ 

2 Thessalonians 3:3-4

3:3 But the Lord is faithful, and he ⁶  will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. 3:4 And we are confident about you in the Lord that you are both doing – and will do – what we are commanding.

¹ tn Grk “if in fact/since,” as a continuation of the preceding.

² tn Grk “and for this reason.”

³ tn Grk “a working of error.”

³ tn Grk “that.” A new sentence was started here in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁴ tn Grk “be judged,” but in this context the term clearly refers to a judgment of condemnation (BDAG 568 s.v. κρίνω 5.b.α; cf. KJV “that they all might be damned”). CEV views the condemnation as punishment (“will be punished”).

⁴ tn Grk “who.”
