2 Thessalonians 2:10

Read in context

2 Thessalonians 2:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and annihilate by the majesty of His arrival.

9 The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder,

10 and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them.

11 For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie,

12 in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.
