2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
New English Translation

9 The arrival of the lawless one[a] will be by Satan’s working with all kinds of miracles[b] and signs and false wonders, 10 and with every kind of evil deception directed against[c] those who are perishing, because they found no place in their hearts for the truth[d] so as to be saved. 11 Consequently[e] God sends on them a deluding influence[f] so that they will believe what is false. 12 And so[g] all of them who have not believed the truth but have delighted in evil will be condemned.[h]

Footnotes

  1. 2 Thessalonians 2:9 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. 2 Thessalonians 2:9 tn Grk “every miracle.”
  3. 2 Thessalonians 2:10 tn Grk “deception for/toward.”
  4. 2 Thessalonians 2:10 tn Grk “they did not accept the love of the truth.”
  5. 2 Thessalonians 2:11 tn Grk “and for this reason.”
  6. 2 Thessalonians 2:11 tn Grk “a working of error.”
  7. 2 Thessalonians 2:12 tn Grk “that.” A new sentence was started here in the translation for stylistic reasons.
  8. 2 Thessalonians 2:12 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”).
