2 Thessalonians 2:12

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.

2 Thessalonians 2:12

That they all might be judged (ina kriqwsin pantev). First aorist passive subjunctive of krinw, to sift, to judge, with ina. Ultimate purpose, almost result, of the preceding obstinate resistance to the truth and "the judicial infatuation which overtakes them" (Lightfoot), now final punishment. Condemnation is involved in the fatal choice made. These victims of the man of sin did not believe the truth and found pleasure in unrighteousness.
