‏ 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12

v. 10: He will use all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved(2 Thessalonians 2:10 ^a). Many will be fooled because they did not really love the truth or want to be saved. Their unbelief and love for sin make them easy to deceive.

v. 11: For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie(2 Thessalonians 2:11 ^b). Since people reject the truth, God allows them to be fooled by lies, as a punishment for their choice.

v. 12: As a result, they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness(2 Thessalonians 2:12 ^c). The final punishment is for those who refused to believe God’s truth and chose to enjoy sin instead. This is a warning to everyone to love and obey the truth of the gospel.
