Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Thessalonians 2:10

_ _ deceivableness — rather as Greek, “deceit of (to promote) unrighteousness” (2 Thessalonians 2:12).

_ _ in — The oldest manuscripts and versions omit “in.” Translate, “unto them that are perishing” (2 Corinthians 2:15, 2 Corinthians 2:16; 2 Corinthians 4:3): the victims of him whose very name describes his perishing nature, “the son of perdition”; in contrast to you whom (2 Thessalonians 2:13) “God hath from the beginning chosen to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.”

_ _ because — literally, “in requital for”; in just retribution for their having no love for the truth which was within their reach (on account of its putting a check on their bad passions), and for their having “pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thessalonians 2:12; Romans 1:18); they are lost because they loved not, but rejected, the truth which would have saved them.

_ _ received notGreek, “welcomed not”; admitted it not cordially.

_ _ love of the truth — not merely love of truth, but love of THE truth (and of, Jesus who is the Truth, in opposition to Satan’s “lie,” 2 Thessalonians 2:9, 2 Thessalonians 2:11; John 8:42-44), can save (Ephesians 4:21). We are required not merely to assent to, but to love the truth (Psalms 119:97). The Jews rejected Him who came in His divine Father’s name; they will receive Antichrist coming in his own name (John 5:43). Their pleasant sin shall prove their terrible scourge.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Thessalonians 2:10

Because they received not the love of the truth — Therefore God suffered them to fall into that "strong delusion."
