9. The coming of the lawless one is connected to the activity of satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,
10. and with every kind of wicked deception toward those who are perishing. They perish because they did not accept the love of the truth so as to be saved.
11. For this reason God sends them a delusional force, to lead them to believe what is false,
12. so that they may be judged—all those who did not believe the truth but delighted in wickedness.
13. But we should always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits for salvation through sanctification by the Ruach and belief in the truth.
14. He called you to this salvation through our proclaiming the Good News, for you to gain the glory of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
