Study Note
'That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.' The judicial hardening described in 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 follows the pattern of Pharaoh: those who refuse the love of truth receive a 'strong delusion' confirming their chosen course. The divine-passive 'God shall send them strong delusion' raises the question of divine causation in moral hardening — a question Paul engages in Romans 9-11 and that Calvin developed in terms of just divine judgment on those who had prior opportunity. The pairing 'believed not the truth... pleasure in unrighteousness' suggests a moral failure of will accompanies the epistemic failure.
