2 Thessalonians 2

1 And we ask you, brothers, in regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together to Him,

Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him;

2 that you are not quickly shaken in mind, nor be troubled, neither through spirit, neither through word, neither through letters as through us, as that the Day of the LORD has arrived;

to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is [now] present;

3 do not let anyone deceive you in any way, because if the departure may not come first, the man of lawlessness may [not] be revealed—the son of destruction,

let no man beguile you in any wise: for [it will not be], except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,

4 who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called god or worshiped, so as for him to have sat down in the temple of God, proclaiming that he is God.

he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God.

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

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

6 And now, you have known what is restraining, for his being revealed in his own time,

And now ye know that which restraineth, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

7 for the secret of lawlessness already works, only the [One] now restraining [will do so] until He may come out of [the] midst,

For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only [there is] one that restraineth now, until he be taken out of the way.

8 and then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the LORD will consume with the Spirit of His mouth, and will nullify at the appearance of His coming,

And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming;

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

[even he], whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth for their being saved,

and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that are perishing; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 and because of this God will send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie,

And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie:

12 that they may be judged—all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness.

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

13 And we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brothers, beloved by the LORD, that God chose you from the beginning to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth,

But we are bound to give thanks to God alway for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

14 to which He called you through our good news, to the acquiring of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ;

whereunto he called you through our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 so, then, brothers, stand fast, and hold the traditions that you were taught, whether through word, whether through our letter;

So then, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye were taught, whether by word, or by epistle of ours.

16 and may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who loved us, and gave continuous comfort, and good hope in grace, (aiōnios g166)

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father which loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166)

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

comfort your hearts and stablish them in every good work and word.
