2 Thessalonians 2

Man of Lawlessness

Now we request you, brethren, with regard to 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 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.

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 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,

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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;

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.

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

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,

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 with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

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

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

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

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

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.

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,

It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may gain 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 to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us.

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

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,

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,

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

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