2 Thessalonians 2:9-14 ESV . . .The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, (10) and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. (11) Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, (12) in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (13) But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the firstfruits to be saved, (2 Chron 16:9) through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth. (14) To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-14 GW . . .The man of sin will come with the power of Satan. He will use every kind of power, including miraculous and wonderful signs. But they will be lies. (10) He will use everything that God disapproves of to deceive those who are dying, those who refused to love the truth that would save them. (11) That's why God will send them a powerful delusion so that they will believe a lie. (12) Then everyone who did not believe the truth, but was delighted with what God disapproves of, will be condemned. (13) We always have to thank God for you, brothers and sisters. You are loved by the Lord and we thank God that in the beginning he chose you to be saved through a life of spiritual devotion and faith in the truth. (2 Chron 16:9) (14) With this in mind he called you by the Good News which we told you so that you would obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-14 GNB . . .The Wicked One will come with the power of Satan and perform all kinds of false miracles and wonders, (10) and use every kind of wicked deceit on those who will perish. They will perish because they did not welcome and love the truth so as to be saved. (11) And so God sends the power of error to work in them so that they believe what is false. (12) The result is that all who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in sin, will be condemned. (13) We must thank God at all times for you, friends, you whom the Lord loves. For God chose you as the first to be saved by the Spirit's power (2 Chron 16:9) to make you his holy people and by your faith in the truth. (14) God called you to this through the Good News we preached to you; he called you to possess your share of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-14 BBE . . .Even the one whose coming is marked by the working of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, (10) And with every deceit of wrongdoing among those whose fate is destruction; because they were quite without that love of the true faith by which they might have salvation. (11) And for this cause, God will give them up to the power of deceit and they will put their faith in what is false: (12) So that they all may be judged, who had no faith in what is true, but took pleasure in evil. (13) But it is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, loved by the Lord, because it was the purpose of God from the first that you might have salvation, (2 Chron 16:9) being made holy by the Spirit and by faith in what is true: (14) And in this purpose he gave you a part through the good news of which we were the preachers, even that you might have part in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-14 NWT . . .the lawless one’s presence is according to the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and portents 10 and with every unrighteous deception for those who are perishing, as a retribution because they did not accept the love of the truth that they might be saved. 11 So that is why God lets an operation of error go to them, that they may get to believing the lie, 12 in order that they all may be judged because they did not believe the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness. 13 However, we are obligated to thank God always for YOU, brothers loved by Jehovah, because God selected YOU from [the] beginning for salvation (2 Chron 16:9) by sanctifying YOU with spirit and by YOUR faith in the truth. 14 To this very destiny he called YOU through the good news we declare, for the purpose of acquiring the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
