< 2 Thessalonians 2 >
1 We implore now you, brothers, by the coming of the Lord of us Jesus Christ and our gathering together unto Him
2 for not soon to be shaken you in mind (nor *N(k)O*) to be troubled, neither through spirit nor through word nor through letter as if through us, as that has been present the day of the (Lord. *N(K)O*)
3 No one you may deceive in not one way; that only unless shall have come the apostasy first and shall have been revealed the man (of lawlessness, *N(K)O*) the son of destruction,
4 who is opposing and exalting himself above every [one] named god or object of worship so as for him in the temple of God (as god *K*) to sit down setting forth he himself that is God.
5 Surely you do remember that yet being with you these things I was saying to you?
6 And now that which is restraining you know for to be revealed him in (his own *NK(o)*) time.
7 The for mystery already is working of lawlessness, only [there is] the [one] restraining [it] at present until out of [the] midst he may be [gone];
8 And then will be revealed the lawless [one] whom the Lord (Jesus *NO*) (will execute *N(k)O*) with the breath of the mouth of Him and will annul by the appearing of the coming of Him;
9 whose is coming according to [the] working of Satan in every power and in signs and in wonders of falsehood
10 and in every deceit (*k*) of wickedness (in *k*) unto those perishing, in return for which the love of the truth not they received in order for to be saved them;
11 And because of this (sends *N(k)O*) to them God a powerful delusion so that to believe they what [is] false,
12 in order that may be judged (all *NK(o)*) those not having believed the truth but having delighted (in *k*) in unrighteousness.
13 We ourselves however ought to give thanks to God always concerning you, brothers beloved by [the] Lord, that (has chosen *N(k)O*) you God (from [the] beginning *N(k)O*) unto salvation in [the] sanctification of [the] Spirit and [by] faith of [the] truth,
14 to this (also *n*) He called you through the gospel of us to [the] obtaining of [the] glory of the Lord of us Jesus Christ.
15 So then, brothers, do stand firm and do hold fast to the traditions that you were taught whether through word or through letter from us.
16 Himself now the Lord of us Jesus Christ and God (the *N(K)O*) Father of us, the [One] having loved us and having given [us] comfort eternal and hope good by grace, (aiōnios )
17 would He encourage your hearts and would He strengthen (you *k*) in every work and word good.
