2 Thessalonians 2:10-12
New English Translation
10 and with every kind of evil deception directed against[a] those who are perishing, because they found no place in their hearts for the truth[b] so as to be saved. 11 Consequently[c] God sends on them a deluding influence[d] so that they will believe what is false. 12 And so[e] all of them who have not believed the truth but have delighted in evil will be condemned.[f]

- 2 Thessalonians 2:12 tn Grk “that.” A new sentence was started here in the translation for stylistic reasons.
- 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”).
