10. deceivableness —rather as Greek, "deceit of (to promote) unrighteousness" ( :- ). in —The oldest manuscripts and versions omit "in." Translate, " unto them that are perishing " ( 2 Corinthians 2:15 ; 2 Corinthians 2:16 ; 2 Corinthians 4:3 ): the victims of him whose very name describes his perishing nature, "the son of perdition"; in contrast to you whom ( 2 Thessalonians 2:13 ) "God hath from the beginning chosen to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth." because —literally, "in requital for"; in just retribution for their having no love for the truth which was within their reach (on account of its putting a check on their bad passions), and for their having "pleasure in unrighteousness" ( 2 Thessalonians 2:12 ; Romans 1:18 ); they are lost because they loved not, but rejected, the truth which would have saved them. received not — Greek, "welcomed not"; admitted it not cordially. love of the truth —not merely love of truth, but love of THE truth (and of, Jesus who is the Truth, in opposition to Satan's "lie," 2 Thessalonians 2:9 ; 2 Thessalonians 2:11 ; John 8:42-44 ), can save ( Ephesians 4:21 ). We are required not merely to assent to, but to love the truth ( Psalms 119:97 ). The Jews rejected Him who came in His divine Father's name; they will receive Antichrist coming in his own name ( Psalms 119:97- : ). Their pleasant sin shall prove their terrible scourge. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-11" class="com-number"
