2 Thessalonians 2

The Man of Sin

Now we beg you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him,

Man of Lawlessness

Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,

that ye be not soon shaken in mind, nor troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as [if it were] by us, as that the day of the Lord is present.

that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

Let not any one deceive you in any manner, because [it will not be] unless the apostasy have first come, and the man of sin have been revealed, the son of perdition;

Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

who opposes and exalts himself on high against all called God, or object of veneration; so that he himself sits down in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

Do ye not remember that, being yet with you, I said these things to you?

Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?

And now ye know that which restrains, that he should be revealed in his own time.

And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.

For the mystery of lawlessness already works; only [there is] he who restrains now until he be gone,

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.

and then the lawless one shall be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus shall consume with the breath of his mouth, and shall annul by the appearing of his coming;

Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;

whose coming is according to the working of Satan in all power and signs and wonders of falsehood,

that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,

and in all deceit of unrighteousness to them that perish, because they have not received the love of the truth that they might be saved.

and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.

And for this reason God sends to them a working of error, that they should believe what is false,

For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false,

that all might be judged who have not believed the truth, but have found pleasure in unrighteousness.

in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.

Stand Firm

But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of [the] Lord, that God has chosen you from [the] beginning to salvation in sanctification of [the] Spirit and belief of [the] truth:

But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.

whereto he has called you by our glad tidings, to [the] obtaining of [the] glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So then, brethren, stand firm, and hold fast the instructions which ye have been taught, whether by word or by our letter.

So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us.

But our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us, and given [us] eternal consolation and good hope by grace,

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace,

encourage your hearts, and establish you in every good work and word.

comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word.
