2 Thessalonians 2

1 But we ask you, brothers, concerning the advent of our Lord Jesus Christ and of our gathering to him,

ερωτωμεν δε υμασ αδελφοι υπερ τησ παρουσιασ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου και ημων επισυναγωγησ επ αυτον

2 that you not be readily disturbed or terrified in your minds, by any spirit, or word, or epistle, supposedly sent from us, claiming that the day of the Lord is close by.

εισ το μη ταχεωσ σαλευθηναι υμασ απο του νοοσ μητε θροεισθαι μητε δια πνευματοσ μητε δια λογου μητε δι επιστολησ ωσ δι ημων ωσ οτι ενεστηκεν η ημερα του χριστου

3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For this cannot be, unless the apostasy will have arrived first, and the man of sin will have been revealed, the son of perdition,

μη τισ υμασ εξαπατηση κατα μηδενα τροπον οτι εαν μη ελθη η αποστασια πρωτον και αποκαλυφθη ο ανθρωποσ τησ αμαρτιασ ο υιοσ τησ απωλειασ

4 who is an adversary to, and who is lifted up above, all that is called God or that is worshipped, so much so that he sits in the temple of God, presenting himself as if he were God.

ο αντικειμενοσ και υπεραιρομενοσ επι παντα λεγομενον θεον η σεβασμα ωστε αυτον εισ τον ναον του θεου ωσ θεον καθισαι αποδεικνυντα εαυτον οτι εστιν θεοσ

5 Do you not recall that, when I was still with you, I told you these things?

ου μνημονευετε οτι ετι ων προσ υμασ ταυτα ελεγον υμιν

6 And now you know what it is that holds him back, so that he may be revealed in his own time.

και νυν το κατεχον οιδατε εισ το αποκαλυφθηναι αυτον εν τω εαυτου καιρω

7 For the mystery of iniquity is already at work. And only one now holds back, and will continue to hold back, until he is taken from our midst.

το γαρ μυστηριον ηδη ενεργειται τησ ανομιασ μονον ο κατεχων αρτι εωσ εκ μεσου γενηται

8 And then that iniquitous one shall be revealed, the one whom the Lord Jesus shall bring to ruin with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy at the brightness of his return:

και τοτε αποκαλυφθησεται ο ανομοσ ον ο κυριοσ αναλωσει τω πνευματι του στοματοσ αυτου και καταργησει τη επιφανεια τησ παρουσιασ αυτου

9 him whose advent is accompanied by the works of Satan, with every kind of power and signs and false miracles,

ου εστιν η παρουσια κατ ενεργειαν του σατανα εν παση δυναμει και σημειοισ και τερασιν ψευδουσ

10 and with every seduction of iniquity, toward those who are perishing because they have not accepted the love of truth, so that they may be saved.

και εν παση απατη τησ αδικιασ εν τοισ απολλυμενοισ ανθ ων την αγαπην τησ αληθειασ ουκ εδεξαντο εισ το σωθηναι αυτουσ

11 For this reason, God will send to them works of deception, so that they may believe in lies,

και δια τουτο πεμψει αυτοισ ο θεοσ ενεργειαν πλανησ εισ το πιστευσαι αυτουσ τω ψευδει

12 in order that all those who have not believed in the truth, but who have consented to iniquity, may be judged.

ινα κριθωσιν παντεσ οι μη πιστευσαντεσ τη αληθεια αλλ ευδοκησαντεσ εν τη αδικια

13 Yet we must always give thanks to God for you, brothers, beloved of God, because God has chosen you as first-fruits for salvation, by the sanctification of the Spirit and by faith in the truth.

ημεισ δε οφειλομεν ευχαριστειν τω θεω παντοτε περι υμων αδελφοι ηγαπημενοι υπο κυριου οτι ειλετο υμασ ο θεοσ απ αρχησ εισ σωτηριαν εν αγιασμω πνευματοσ και πιστει αληθειασ

14 He has also called you into truth through our Gospel, unto the acquisition of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

εισ ο εκαλεσεν υμασ δια του ευαγγελιου ημων εισ περιποιησιν δοξησ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου

15 And so, brothers, stand firm, and hold to the traditions that you have learned, whether by word or by our epistle.

αρα ουν αδελφοι στηκετε και κρατειτε τασ παραδοσεισ ασ εδιδαχθητε ειτε δια λογου ειτε δι επιστολησ ημων

16 So may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who has loved us and who has given us an everlasting consolation and good hope in grace, (aiōnios g166)

αυτοσ δε ο κυριοσ ημων ιησουσ χριστοσ και ο θεοσ και πατηρ ημων ο αγαπησασ ημασ και δουσ παρακλησιν αιωνιαν και ελπιδα αγαθην εν χαριτι (aiōnios g166)

17 exhort your hearts and confirm you in every good word and deed.

παρακαλεσαι υμων τασ καρδιασ και στηριξαι υμασ εν παντι λογω και εργω αγαθω
