[1] Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him, we ask you [2] not to be quickly shaken in your mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter as if from us, saying that the day of Christ has already come. [3] Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be unless the rebellion§ comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction. [4] He opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God. [5] Don’t you remember that when I was still with you, I told you these things? [6] Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season. [7] For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way. [8] Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the manifestation of his coming; [9] even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, [10] and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. [11] Because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion, that they should believe a lie, [12] that they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. [13] But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth, [14] to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. [15] So then, brothers, stand firm and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word or by letter. [16] Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, [17] comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.

  1. § 2:3 or, falling away, or, defection
King James Version
[1] Now G1161 we beseech G2065 you, G5209 brethren, G80 by G5228 the G3588 coming G3952 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 and G2532 by our G2257 gathering together G1997 unto G1909 him, G846 [2] that G1519 ye G5209 be G4531 not G3361 soon G5030 shaken G4531 in G575 mind, G3563 or G3383 be troubled, G2360 neither G3383 by G1223 spirit, G4151 nor G3383 by G1223 word, G3056 nor G3383 by G1223 letter G1992 as G5613 from G1223 us, G2257 as G5613 that G3754 the G3588 day G2250 of Christ G5547 is at hand. G1764 [3] Let G1818 no G3361 man G5100 deceive G1818 you G5209 by G2596 any G3367 means: G5158 for G3754 that day shall not come, except G1437 G3361 there come G2064 a falling away G646 first, G4412 and G2532 that G3588 man G444 of sin G266 be revealed, G601 the G3588 son G5207 of perdition; G684 [4] who G3588 opposeth G480 and G2532 exalteth himself G5229 above G1909 all G3956 that G3588 is called G3004 God, G2316 or G2228 that is worshipped; G4574 so that G5620 he G846 as G5613 God G2316 sitteth G2523 in G1519 the G3588 temple G3485 of God, G2316 shewing G584 himself G1438 that G3754 he is G2076 God. G2316 [5] Remember ye G3421 not, G3756 that, G3754 when I was G5607 yet G2089 with G4314 you, G5209 I told G3004 you G5213 these things? G5023 [6] And G2532 now G3568 ye know G1492 what G3588 withholdeth G2722§ that G1519 he G846 might be revealed G601 in G1722 his G1438 time. G2540 [7] For G1063 the G3588 mystery G3466 of iniquity G458 doth already G2235 work: G1754 only G3440 he who G3588 now G737 letteth G2722 will let, until G2193 he be taken G1096 out of G1537 the way. G3319 [8] And G2532 then G5119 shall G601 that G3588 Wicked G459 be revealed, G601 whom G3739 the G3588 Lord G2962 shall consume G355 with the G3588 spirit G4151 of his G846 mouth, G4750 and G2532 shall destroy G2673 with the G3588 brightness G2015 of his G846 coming: G3952 [9] even him, whose G3739 coming G3952 is G2076 after G2596 the working G1753 of Satan G4567 with G1722 all G3956 power G1411 and G2532 signs G4592 and G2532 lying G5579 wonders, G5059 [10] and G2532 with G1722 all G3956 deceivableness G539 of unrighteousness G93 in G1722 them G3588 that perish; G622 because G473 G3739 they received G1209 not G3756 the G3588 love G26 of the G3588 truth, G225 that G1519 they G846 might be saved. G4982 [11] And G2532 for G1223 this G5124 cause God G2316 shall send G3992 them G846 strong G1753 delusion, G4106 that G1519 they G846 should believe G4100 a G3588 lie: G5579 [12] that G2443 they G2919 all G3956 might be damned G2919 who G3588 believed G4100 not G3361 the G3588 truth, G225 but G235 had pleasure G2106 in G1722 unrighteousness. G93 [13] But G1161 we G2249 are bound G3784 to give thanks G2168 alway G3842 to God G2316 for G4012 you, G5216 brethren G80 beloved G25 of G5259 the Lord, G2962 because G3754 God G2316 hath G138 from G575 the beginning G746 chosen G138 you G5209 to G1519 salvation G4991 through G1722 sanctification G38 of the Spirit G4151 and G2532 belief G4102 of the truth: G225 [14] whereunto G1519 G3739 he called G2564 you G5209 by G1223 our G2257 gospel, G2098 to G1519 the obtaining G4047 of the glory G1391 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547 [15] Therefore, G686 G3767 brethren, G80 stand fast, G4739 and G2532 hold G2902 the G3588 traditions G3862 which G3739 ye have been taught, G1321 whether G1535 by G1223 word, G3056 or G1535 G1223 our G2257 epistle. G1992 [16] Now G1161 our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 himself, G846 and G2532 God, G2316 even G2532 our G2257 Father, G3962 which G3588 hath loved G25 us, G2248 and G2532 hath given G1325 us everlasting G166 consolation G3874 and G2532 good G18 hope G1680 through G1722 grace, G5485 [17] comfort G3870 your G5216 hearts, G2588 and G2532 stablish G4741 you G5209 in G1722 every G3956 good G18 word G3056 and G2532 work.
