2 Thessalonians 2
- 1Now we urge you, brothers and sisters, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together to him,
- 2That you not be quickly shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is near.
- 3Let no man deceive you by any means. For that day shall not come, unless there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of destruction.
- 4Who opposes and lifts himself up above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
- 5Do you not remember, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
- 6And now you know what restrains him, that he might be revealed in his time.
- 7For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only he who now restrains will restrain, until he is taken out of the way.
- 8And then shall that lawless one be revealed, who the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming.
- 9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
- 10And with all the deception of unrighteousness in those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
- 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.
- 12That they all might be condemned who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
- 13But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brothers and sisters beloved of the Lord, because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth.
- 14To which he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- 15Therefore, brothers and sisters, stand fast, and hold the traditions which you have been taught, whether by word, or our letter.
- 16Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, who has loved us, and has given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
- 17Encourage your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.
