taken captive.
Gr. Taken alive.
at.
 For in divine truth things are understood before words, as “born again” (compare John 8:43). On the other hand, by means of error, by occupying the mind with the error, Satan shuts God out of it and leads the whole man captive, so that he does the will of that enemy to the soul. (2 Timothy 2 by J.N. Darby)
 All who resist the truth of God, who refuse it, however eminent they may be in the world of intellect or science, are nothing more than the poor slaves of Satan. (article #86511)

and that they may awake up out of the snare of the devil, who are taken by him, for *his*g will.

JND Translation Notes

g
It is here a question whether it be God's will or Satan's; whether "for" (eis) refers to "awake up" or "taken captive." "awake up for his (God's) will out of the snare," etc.; that those who have been taken as prey by the devil may, God having given them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth, awake up to follow his will. I rather prefer its application to God.

W. Kelly Translation

and they may wake up out of the snare of the devil, taken as they are by him, for his willa.

WK Translation Notes

a
This is a remarkably complicated sentence, and saints eminent in godliness and scholarship have understood it very differently. Thus the KJV stands by no means alone in treating the words as referring only to the enemy. The RV on the other hand, supposes not one agent to be in question, but three, the devil, the Lord’s servant, and God. Their version accordingly is, "And they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him (the Lord’s servant) unto the will of God." In their margin they give that which appears to be the truer sense, "by the devil" (not the Lord’s servant) unto the will of God. The two pronouns in the Greek, being different, naturally, though not necessarily, point to two parties: but to bring in "the Lord’s servant" here seems as forced as the reference to the enemy is simple and consistent.
