2 Thessalonians 2:12 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. That they all might be damned - Ἱνα κριθωσι· So that they may all be condemned who believed not the truth when it was proclaimed to them; but took pleasure in unrighteousness, preferring that to the way of holiness. Their condemnation was the effect of their refusal to believe the truth; and they refused to believe it because they loved their sins. For a farther and more pointed illustration of the preceding verses, see the conclusion of this chapter (note).
