2 Thessalonians Chapter 2, Verse 10
From BibleWiki
10: And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that
perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that
they might be saved.
10: And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish: because they
receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore
God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying:
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness. There are two ideas here. The first is, that there would be deceit; and the other is, that it would be for the purpose of promoting unrighteousness or iniquity. The iniquitous system would be maintained by fraudulent methods.
In them that perish. Among those who will perish; that is, among the abandoned and wicked. The reference is to men of corrupt minds and lives, over whom this system would have power; countenancing them in their depravity, and fitting them still farther for destruction. The idea is, that these acts would have especial reference to men who would be lost at any rate, and who would be sustained in their wickedness by this false and delusive system.
Because they received not the love of the truth. They prefer this system of error and delusion to the simple and pure gospel, by which they might have been saved.
