2 Thessalonians 2:9-13

English Standard Version

⁹ The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan ^(A)with all power and false signs and wonders, ¹⁰ and with all wicked deception for ^(B)those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. ¹¹ Therefore ^(C)God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe ^(D)what is false, ¹² in order that all may be condemned ^(E)who did not believe the truth but ^(F)had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Stand Firm

¹³ But ^(G)we ought always to give thanks to God for you, ^(H)brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you ^(I)as the firstfruits^{[a] (J)}to be saved, ^(K)through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.
