fFor behold, this is according to the captivity of the Ddevil, and also according to the justice of God, upon all those who will work wickedness and abomination before him.

Simple English

This happens because of the devil’s power over them and also because of God’s justice on all those who choose to do wicked and evil things.

Paraphrase

This follows the Devil’s way of enslaving people. It also follows God’s perfect justice against everyone who does evil and disgusting things in his sight.
