2 Thessalonians 2 (WEBP)

[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.

2 Thessalonians 2 (KJVS)

[1] Now we beseech () you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
[2] that ye be not soon shaken () in mind, or be troubled, () neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. ()
[3] Let no man deceive () you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come () a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, () the son of perdition;
[4] who opposeth () and exalteth () himself above all that is called () God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth () in the temple of God, shewing () himself that he is () God.
[5] Remember ye () not, that, when I was () yet with you, I told () you these things?
[6] And now ye know () what withholdeth () that he might be revealed () in his time.
[7] For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: () only he who now letteth () will let, until he be taken () out of the way.
[8] And then shall that Wicked be revealed, () whom the Lord shall consume () with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy () with the brightness of his coming:
[9] even him, whose coming is () after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
[10] and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; () because they received () not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ()
[11] And for this cause God shall send () them strong delusion, that they should believe () a lie:
[12] that they all might be damned () who believed () not the truth, but had pleasure () in unrighteousness.
[13] But we are bound () to give thanks () alway to God for you, brethren beloved () of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen () you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
[14] whereunto he called () you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
[15] Therefore, brethren, stand fast, () and hold () the traditions which ye have been taught, () whether by word, or our epistle.
[16] Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved () us, and hath given () us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
[17] comfort () your hearts, and stablish () you in every good word and work.
