New Living Translation
English Standard Version
Don’t be so easily shaken or alarmed by those who say that the day of the Lord has already begun. Don’t believe them, even if they claim to have had a spiritual vision, a revelation, or a letter supposedly from us.
not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.
He will exalt himself and defy everything that people call god and every object of worship. He will even sit in the temple of God, claiming that he himself is God.
who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.
Don’t you remember that I told you about all this when I was with you?
Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?
And you know what is holding him back, for he can be revealed only when his time comes.
And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time.
For this lawlessness is already at work secretly, and it will remain secret until the one who is holding it back steps out of the way.
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.
Then the man of lawlessness will be revealed, but the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by the splendor of his coming.
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming.
This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles.
The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders,
He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them.
and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies.
Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false,
Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth.
in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Believers Should Stand Firm
As for us, we can’t help but thank God for you, dear brothers and sisters loved by the Lord. We are always thankful that God chose you to be among the firstd to experience salvation — a salvation that came through the Spirit who makes you holy and through your belief in the truth.
He called you to salvation when we told you the Good News; now you can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
With all these things in mind, dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and keep a strong grip on the teaching we passed on to you both in person and by letter.
So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter.
Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope,
Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,
