2 Thessalonians 2:10

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

Deceivableness, [ apatee (G539) adikias (G93)] - 'deceit of (to promote) unrighteousness' (2 Thessalonians 2:12).

In. So C. But 'Aleph (') A B Delta G f g, Vulgate, omit "in." 'Unto them that are perishing' (2 Corinthians 2:15; 2 Corinthians 4:3): victims of him whose name describes his perishing nature, "the son of perdition." But you need not fear, for (2 Thessalonians 2:13) 'God hath chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief.'

Because, [ anth' (G473) hon (G3739)] - 'for that,' 'in requital for which:' in retribution for their having no love for the truth which was within their reach (since it was a check on their passions), and for their having pleasure in unrighteousness' (2 Thessalonians 2:12; Romans 1:18); they are lost because they loved not the truth which would have saved them.

Received not, [ edexanto (G1209)] - 'welcomed not;' admitted not cordially.

Love of the truth - not merely truth, but THE truth alone (Jesus), in opposition to Satan's 'lie' (2 Thess Love of the truth - not merely truth, but THE truth alone (Jesus), in opposition to Satan's 'lie' (2 Thessalonians 2:9; John 8:42), can save (Ephesians 4:21). Not merely must we assent to, but love, the truth (Psalms 119:97). The Jews rejected Him, coming in His Father's name; they will receive Antichrist, coming in his own name (John 5:43). Their sin shall prove their scourge.
