Compare all
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, awhom the Lord will consume bwith the breath of His mouth and destroy cwith the brightness of His coming.  
9 The coming of the lawless one is aaccording to the working of Satan, with all power, bsigns, and lying wonders,  
10 and with all unrighteous deception among athose who perish, because they did not receive bthe love of the truth, that they might be saved.  
11 And afor this reason God will send them strong delusion, bthat they should believe the lie,  
12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but ahad pleasure in unrighteousness.  

Stand Fast

13 But we are1 bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God afrom the beginning bchose you for salvation cthrough sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,

15 Therefore, brethren, astand fast and hold bthe traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our1 epistle.  
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, awho has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and bgood hope by grace,

2 Thessalonians 2:10

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness - There are two ideas here. The first is, that there would be deceit; and the other is, that it would be for the purpose of promoting unrighteousness or iniquity. The iniquitous system would be maintained by fraudulent methods. No one who has read Pascal' s Provincial Letters can ever doubt that this description is applicable to the system of the Jesuits; and no one familiar with the acts of the papacy, as they have always been practiced, can doubt that the whole system is accurately described by this language. The plausible reasoning by which the advocates of that system have palliated and apologized for sins of various kinds, has been among its most remarkable features.

In them that perish - Among those who will perish; that is, among the abandoned and wicked. The reference is to men of corrupt minds and lives, over whom this system would have power; countenancing them in their depravity, and fitting them still farther for destruction. The idea is, that these acts would have special reference to men who would be lost at any rate, and who would be sustained in their wickedness by this false and delusive system.

Because they received not the love of the truth - They prefer this system of error and delusion to the simple and pure gospel, by which they might have been saved.
