9. whose coming is in accordance with the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10. and with every unrighteous deception against those who are perishing, in place of which they did not accept the love of the truth, so that they would be saved.
11. And because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie,
12. in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth, but delighted in unrighteousness.
13. But we ought to give thanks to God always concerning you, brothers dearly loved by the Lord, because God has chosen you as first fruits for salvation by the sanctification of the Spirit and faith in the truth,
14. for which purpose he called you through our gospel for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
