2 Tesalonika 2:12

2:12 And so ¹  all of them who have not believed the truth but have delighted in evil will be condemned. ² 

2 Tesalonika 3:17

3:17 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand, which is how I write in every letter. ³ 

[2:12]  ¹ tn Grk “that.” A new sentence was started here in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[2:12]  ² 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”).

[3:17]  ³ tn Grk “The greeting in my hand, Paul, which is a sign in every letter, thus I write.”

[3:17]  sn Up to 3:17 the letter was dictated by Paul but written down by a secretary or amanuensis. But Paul took up the pen and wrote vv. 17-18 personally to authenticate that it was his (how I write in every letter). See similar indications in 1 Cor 16:21; Gal 6:11; and Col 4:18.
