2:1 Now we urge you+, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him;
2:2 to the end that you+ are not quickly shaken from your+ mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at hand; 2:3 let no man beguile you+ in any wise: for [it will not be,] except the falling away comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition, 2:4 he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God. 2:5 Don't you+ remember, that, when I was yet with you+, I told you+ these things? 2:6 And now you+ know that which restrains, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season. 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness does already work: only [there is] one who restrains now, until he is removed. 2:8 And then will be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his coming; 2:9 [even he], whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 2:10 and with all deceit of unrighteousness for those who perish; because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 2:11 And for this cause God sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: 2:12 that all who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness, would be judged. 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you+, brothers beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you+ from the beginning to salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 2:14 to which he also called you+ through our good news, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2:15 So then, brothers, stand fast, and hold the traditions which you+ were taught, whether by word, or by letter of ours. 2:16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, 2:17 comfort your+ hearts and establish them in every good work and word. |
