2 Thessalonians 2:11-12

Context
2:11 Consequently 1  God sends on them a deluding influence 2  so that they will believe what is false. 2:12 And so 3  all of them who have not believed the truth but have delighted in evil will be condemned. 4 

1 tn Grk “and for this reason.”

2 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”).
