DELIVERANCE FROM UNREASONABLE MEN

[Doug]

[2Thesalonians 3:1 KJV] "Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have [free] course, and be glorified, even as [it is] with you:" [2Thesalonians 3:2 KJV] "And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all [men] have not faith.".........It struck me that Paul needed deliverance from not only wicked men, but unreasonable men, who refused to be persuaded by his reasoning from scripture. They rejected the clear, reasonable presentation of the truth of scripture..........[Acts 18:4 KJV] "And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks."

I was unable to find the word "unreasonable" in any Greek edition, not even in the one used by the KJV translators.

I think that the NIV renders the meaning better:
And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith.
