10 and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. WEB
“and with all deception of wickedness” Deception is an evil act with the sole purpose of harming the person, either physically or spiritually.
“for those who are being lost” Deception penetrates completely and deceives the individual who is devoid of the Holy Spirit.
“because they didn’t receive the love of the truth” The Truth which is found in the Word of God keeps all its adherence from being deceived.

Alex ~ I have been offline for several weeks as we prepared to move to Interlochen, Michigan. We are finally in our new home and getting settled in (sort of). I hope to be a more frequent visitor. ~ Don
Hello Don, moving is a big project of its own. I’m glad you are well and wish you and your family a Merry Christmas.
As well to you and yours.
