2 Thessalonians 2:9-11

2:9 The arrival of the lawless one ¹  will be by Satan’s working with all kinds of miracles ²  and signs and false wonders, 2:10 and with every kind of evil deception directed against ³  those who are perishing, because they found no place in their hearts for the truth ⁴  so as to be saved. 2:11 Consequently ⁵  God sends on them a deluding influence ⁶  so that they will believe what is false.

¹ tn Grk “whose coming,” referring to the lawless one. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek construction, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

² tn Grk “every miracle.”

³ tn Grk “deception for/toward.”

⁴ tn Grk “they did not accept the love of the truth.”

⁵ tn Grk “and for this reason.”

⁶ tn Grk “a working of error.”
