  • 1 Now brethren, in regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him, we urge you,
  • 2 not to be suddenly shaken in mind or to be troubled, either by a spirit or by a word, or by a letter as if from us, as that the Day of Christ has come.
  • 3 Let no one deceive you by any means: for that Day will not come, unless a falling away comes first, and that man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,
  • 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, declaring that he himself is God.
  • 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you, I told you these things?
  • 6 And now you know what is restraining that he might be revealed in his time.
  • 7 Because the mystery of iniquity is at work already; only He who now restrains will restrain, until He is taken out of the way.
  • 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the spirit of his mouth, and will destroy with the brightness of his coming.
  • 9 Specifically Him, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power, signs, and lying wonders,
  • 10 and with all unrighteous deception amongst those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
  • 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,
  • 12 that they all might be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
  • 13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,
  • 14 to which 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 you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.
  • 16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who loved us, and has given us everlasting help and good hope by grace,
  • 17 encourage your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.
