2 Thessalonians 2

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Master Yahushua the Messiah, and by our gathering together unto him,

But, we beseech you, brethren, concerning the coming of; our Lord Jesus Christ, and our coming together to him,

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of the Messiah is at hand.

that you be not hastily shaken from the persuasion of your mind, nor be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by report, nor by letter as written by us, as though the day of the Lord is at hand.

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Let no one deceive you by any means; for that day will not come, unless the apostasy come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called elohim, or that is worshipped; so that he as elohim sitteth in the temple of elohim, shewing himself that he is elohim.

who opposes and exalts himself above every one that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, openly showing him self that he is God.

5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

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

6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.

And now you know what restrains, in order that he may be revealed in his own proper time.

7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

For the mystery of iniquity is already at work; only he that now restrains will restrain, till he be taken out of the way:

8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom Yahushua shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:

and then shall that lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will destroy by the spirit of his mouth, and will utterly overthrow by the brightness of his coming:

9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

he will destroy him, whose coming is, according to the energy of Satan, with all power and signs and wonders of falsehood,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

and with all the delusion of unrighteousness in those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, in order that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause YHWH shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, in order that they may believe a lie,

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

that all may be condemned who believe not the truth, but have pleasure in unrighteousness.

13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to YHWH for you, brethren beloved of the Master, because YHWH hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God did, from the beginning, choose you to salvation, by sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth,

14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Master Yahushua the Messiah.

to which he called you by our gospel, in order that you might obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which you have been taught, whether by word or by our letter.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, who has loved us, and given us eternal consolation and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166)
