2 Tesalonika 2:6

2:6 And so ¹  you know what holds him back, ²  so that he will be revealed in his own time.

2 Tesalonika 2:12

2:12 And so ³  all of them who have not believed the truth but have delighted in evil will be condemned. ⁴ 

[2:6]  ¹ tn Grk “and now,” but this shows the logical result of his previous teaching.

[2:6]  ² tn Grk “the thing that restrains.”

[2:12]  ³ tn Grk “that.” A new sentence was started here in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[2:12]  ⁴ tn Grk “be judged,” but in this context the term clearly refers to a judgment of condemnation (BDAG 568 s.v. κρίνω 5.b.α; cf. KJV “that they all might be damned”). CEV views the condemnation as punishment (“will be punished”).
