2 Thessalonians 2:10-16
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
10and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.
14To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter.
