2 Thessalonians 3:2
KJV
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
NIV
And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith.
God wants to reason with us (Isa. 1:18), but some men are “unreasonable” and will not reason back with God, which goes hand-in-hand with wickedness in the KJV. By altering this word, modern versions erase this simple truth from this passage.
