2 Thessalonians 2

1 Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and our gathering together to him, we ask you

Now, we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together to him,

2 not to be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, saying that the day of the Lord had come.

that you be not suddenly shaken in mind, nor alarmed, neither by spirit, not by report, nor by letter, as from us, intimating that the day of the Lord is at hand.

3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

Let no one lead you into a mistake by any means; because the apostasy must first appear, and the man of sin, the son of perdition, must be first revealed,

4 he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.

who opposes and exalts himself against every one called a god, or an object of worship; so that he places himself in the temple of God, openly exhibiting himself, that he is a god.

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

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

6 Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

And you know what now prevents his being revealed until his proper time.

7 For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.

For already the mystery of iniquity secretly works, only till he who now restrains, be taken out of the way;

8 Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;

and then shall that lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will consume by the spirit of his mouth--with the brightness of his coming,

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

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

10 and with all deception of wickedness for those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

and with all the deceit of unrighteousness among the destroyed; because they did not embrace the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And because of this, God sends them a strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,

For this cause, God will send them strong delusion, that they may believe a lie;

12 in order that all might be judged who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

that all may be condemned who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in iniquity.

13 But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Ruach and belief in the truth;

But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, because God has, from the beginning, chosen you to salvation, through sanctification of spirit, and belief of truth;

14 to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

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

15 So then, brothers, stand firm, and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word, or by letter.

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

16 Now our Lord Yeshua the Messiah himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us everlasting comfort and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166)

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

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

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