Read in context

2 Thessalonians 2:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

13 But we should always thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning to be saved by the sanctification of the Spirit and by faith in the truth.

14 To this He called you through our gospel, so that you may share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
