American Standard Version
"And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: "
— 2 Thessalonians 2:11, American Standard Version
“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:”
“Because of this, God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie;”
“Consequently God sends on them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false.”
“That all may be judged who have not believed the truth but have consented to iniquity.”
“And for this cause, God will give them up to the power of deceit and they will put their faith in what is false:”
“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:”
And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming;
even he, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie:
that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
whereunto he called you through our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
