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,

The Great Apostasy

Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you,

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.

not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of [a]Christ had 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 deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of [b]sin is revealed, the son of perdition,

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 all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits [c]as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

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

Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?

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

And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.

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

For the [d]mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only [e]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;

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

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

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying 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 unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

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

And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,

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

that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

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:

Stand Fast

But we are [f]bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through [g]sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,

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

to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of 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.

Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our [h]epistle.

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 our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace,

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

comfort your hearts and [i]establish you in every good word and work.
