2 Thessalonians 2:10

2:10 and with every kind of evil deception directed against those who are perishing, because they found no place in their hearts for the truth so as to be saved.

2 Thessalonians 2:12

2:12 And so all of them who have not believed the truth but have delighted in evil will be condemned.


tn Grk “deception for/toward.”

tn Grk “they did not accept the love of the truth.”

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

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”).
