Context — Consequences of Disbeliefgenerated
2 Thessalonians 2:12 discusses the fate of those who reject the truth and find pleasure in wickedness. Paul emphasizes that God allows a powerful delusion to lead them to judgment. This theme of judgment for disbelief is consistent throughout Scripture, as seen in John 3:36 and 1 Thessalonians 5:9.

The Key Word — κριθῶσιν, krinōgenerated
The verb κρίνω means to judge, decide, or condemn. It is in the aorist passive subjunctive form, indicating that the action of judgment is to be received by the subject, which in this case refers to those who have disbelieved.
This word encompasses a range of meanings including making a decision about right and wrong. In a biblical context, it often implies a final judgment or condemnation, as seen in Romans 14:10.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse in the Berean Standard Bible states that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness. This is echoed in the KJV and ASV, which emphasize the judgment aspect.
However, the YLT and WEB use slightly different phrasing, focusing on the idea of being judged, which aligns closely with the Greek verb κριθῶσιν.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is governed by the verb πέμπει, meaning 'sends', which introduces the purpose of sending a delusion. The structure includes a prepositional phrase explaining the outcome of this action.
The subject of the judgment is introduced with the noun phrase πάντες, meaning 'all', followed by the participial phrases describing those who did not believe and took pleasure in unrighteousness.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
κριθῶσιν corresponds to the Hebrew word for judgment, as seen in Deuteronomy 32:35, where it conveys the idea of divine judgment.
The term ἀδικία is also used in the Septuagint, reflecting similar themes of injustice and moral wrongdoing found in the Old Testament.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
2 Thessalonians 2:12 explains that God allows a powerful delusion so that judgment may come upon everyone who has disbelieved the truth and taken pleasure in wickedness. This shows the serious consequences of rejecting God's message.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
It indicates that God allows individuals who reject the truth to be misled, leading them to judgment as a consequence of their disbelief.
The judgment applies to all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness, indicating no exceptions.
Delighting in wickedness shows a willful rejection of God's truth and a preference for unrighteousness, which leads to condemnation.
This verse aligns with other biblical passages that warn of judgment for those who reject the truth, such as in John 3:36.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- In what ways do I see people around me rejecting the truth today?
- How can I ensure that I am not delighting in wickedness in my own life?
- What steps can I take to share the truth of the gospel with others?
- How does understanding the seriousness of judgment affect my faith and actions?

Matthew Poole1624–1679Matthew Poole's Commentary on the Holy BibleThat they all might be damned, or condemned. The Greek is, judged, but often translated as in the text; the simple verb being taken for the compound: so . It is true a man may be judged and not condemned, but the judgment of the wicked is condemnation; and damnation is here mentioned either as the event, or the effect of their believing lies, or as the purpose of God in sending them strong delusions. They are first justly punished with spiritual judgment, and then eternal, and God is just in both; whence we see that there are some errors in judgment which are damnable. As we read of damnable heresies, , or heresies of destruction; such are many in the Romish Church; and the apostle speaks…

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) That they all.—This is God’s purpose in making them believe the lie—“in order that, one and all, they might be judged.” He who desireth not the death of a sinner, now is said actually to lay plans with the intention of judging him: such are the bold self-contradictions of the Bible! It must not, however, be forgotten for a moment that God did not begin to will the sinner’s judgment till after He had offered him freely the love of His own blessed truth, and had been rejected. When once the sinner is incurable, the only way to vindicate truth and righteousness is by hastening on his condemnation, whatever that condemnation may mean.

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges12. that they all might be damned who believed not the truth] that they may be judged is what the Apostle says.Here is the further, judicial purpose of the great imposture. God intends that men who are so disposed should “believe the lie,” so that their false belief may be a touchstone and demonstration of their falseness. Men without love of truth naturally believe the lie when it comes; there is nothing else for them. And this is a terrible judgement upon them. As Christ came at first “for judgement into this world” (John 9:39, &c.), by His presence discriminating the lovers of truth and falsehood, so it will be with Antichrist at his coming. He will attract his like; and this attraction…

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
ut judicentur omnes qui non crediderunt veritati, sed consenserunt iniquitati.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.
ܘܢܬܕܝܢܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܩܘܫܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܨܛܒܝܘ ܒܥܘܠܐ

Where a cell says a work has no entry, that work genuinely has none for this word.
The Greek word ἵνα is primarily a conjunction meaning 'in order that' or 'that,' indicating purpose or intention. It can also function as an adverb of place, meaning 'where' or 'whither.' In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, often introducing clauses that express purpose, such as in Matthew 1:22. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings or usages.

κρίνω is a Greek verb meaning to judge or decide, derived from the root meaning to separate or distinguish. It encompasses a range of meanings including to choose, to approve, and to condemn. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, such as making judgments about others (e.g., Luke 7:43) and determining legal matters (e.g., Acts 16:4).

The Greek word πᾶς (i.e., *pas*) means 'all' or 'every' and appears in various forms, including masculine, feminine, and neuter. It is used in the New Testament to denote totality, as in 'all things' or 'every kind,' and can function as an adjective or pronoun. Notably, it can also imply 'the whole' when used with definite articles, as seen in verses like Matthew 28:18.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

μή (mē) is a Greek negative particle used to express subjective negation, often in conditional or hypothetical contexts. It contrasts with οὐ (ou), which indicates absolute denial. μή can function as an adverb meaning 'not' or as a conjunction meaning 'lest.' It appears in various grammatical constructions, including prohibitions and deliberative questions, and is referenced in verses like Matthew 5:29 and John 3:18.
μή,
subjective negative particle,
used where the negation depends on a condition or hypothesis, expressed or understood, as distinct from οὐ, which denies absolutely. μή is used where one thinks a thing is not, as distinct from an absolute negation. As a general rule, οὐ negatives the indic., μή the other moods, incl, ptcp. [In LXX for אֵין, אַיִן, אַל.]
As a neg. adv., not;
with ref. to thought or opinion: Jo 3:18, Tit 1:11, II Pe 1:9.
μή, Sept. for Ox, |X, PN, ἃ particle of negation, which differs from οὐ (which is always an adverb) in that ov denies the thing itself (orto speak technically, denies simply, absolutely, categorically, directly, objectively). but μή denies the thought of the thing, or the thing according to the judgment, opinion, will, purpose, preference, of some one (hence, as we say technically, indirectly, hypothetically, subjectively). This distinction holds also of the compounds οὐδείς, μηδείς, οὐκέτι, μηκέτι, ete. But pris either an ad verb of negation, not (Lat. non, ne); or aconjunction, that... not, lest, (Lat. ne); or an interrogative particle, (Lat. num) [i. e.

πιστεύω (pisteuō) means to have faith or believe, often in a religious context, such as trusting in God or Jesus. It can be used in various constructions, including believing in someone or something, and it can also mean to entrust. The New Testament frequently employs this word, particularly regarding faith in Christ and the gospel.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The Greek word ἀλήθεια (aletheia) means 'truth' and is derived from ἀληθής ('true'). It encompasses both objective truth, as in the reality of a matter, and subjective truthfulness, reflecting sincerity and integrity. In the New Testament, it is used in various contexts, including religious truth and moral integrity, with references in Romans and John.

Truth
Used in various senses in Scripture. In Prov. 12:17, 19, it denotes that which is opposed to falsehood. In Isa. 59:14, 15, Jer. 7:28, it means fidelity or truthfulness. The doctrine of Christ is called “the truth of the gospel” (Gal. 2:5), “the truth” (2 Tim. 3:7; 4:4). Our Lord says of himself, “I am the way, and the truth” (John 14:6).

The Greek word ἀλλά (alla) is an adversative particle, meaning 'but' or 'otherwise.' It is derived from the neuter plural of ἄλλος and is used to introduce opposition or contrast in sentences. In the New Testament, it often appears in contexts that involve negation or exceptions, such as in Matthew 5:15 and John 16:2. The lexicons note its stronger adversative force compared to δέ.

Armitage Robinson, Zp/estans, p. 205, has a note on a quasi-resumpltive use of ἀλλά in Eph 524 which is closely paralleled by that of πλήν in ver. 33.

εὐδοκέω is a Greek verb meaning to be well pleased or to consent, often used in contexts of approval or delight. It can take various constructions, including with an infinitive to express willingness or with a dative to indicate favor towards a person or thing. The New Testament uses it in several passages, such as Matthew 3:17 and Luke 12:32, to convey divine approval.

PREP PREPosition
A principal thing to notice about this preposition, which in the King James Version represents about 16 Hebrew and as many Greek words and prepositions, is that, in hundreds of cases (especially in the Old Testament, but frequently also in the New Testament) in the Revised Version (British and American) the rendering is changed to more exact forms ("to," "unto," "by," "upon," "at," "with," "among," "for," "throughout," etc.; compare e.g. Ge 6:16; 13:8; 17:7,9,12; 18:1; Ex 8:17; Le 1:9, etc.); while, nearly as often, "in" is substituted for divergent forms of the King James Version (e.g. Ge 2:14; 17:11; 31:54; 40:7; 49:17; Ex…

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

ἀδικία (adikia) refers to injustice or unrighteousness, derived from the word for 'unjust.' It encompasses moral wrongfulness and can denote both the quality of being unjust and the acts that stem from it. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, such as in Luke 18:6 and Romans 1:18. The term is also associated with deceitfulness and wrongdoing.

Counted over the 127 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.
