< 2 Thessalonians 2 >
1 Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him, we ask you
ερωτωμεν δε υμασ αδελφοι υπερ τησ παρουσιασ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου και ημων επισυναγωγησ επ αυτον
2 not to be quickly shaken in your mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter as if from us, saying that the day of Christ has already come.
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 it will not be unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction.
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 He opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as 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 Don’t you remember that when I was still with you, I told you these things?
ου μνημονευετε οτι ετι ων προσ υμασ ταυτα ελεγον υμιν
6 Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.
και νυν το κατεχον οιδατε εισ το αποκαλυφθηναι αυτον εν τω εαυτου καιρω
7 For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.
το γαρ μυστηριον ηδη ενεργειται τησ ανομιασ μονον ο κατεχων αρτι εωσ εκ μεσου γενηται
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;
και τοτε αποκαλυφθησεται ο ανομοσ ον ο κυριοσ αναλωσει τω πνευματι του στοματοσ αυτου και καταργησει τη επιφανεια τησ παρουσιασ αυτου
9 even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
ου εστιν η παρουσια κατ ενεργειαν του σατανα εν παση δυναμει και σημειοισ και τερασιν ψευδουσ
10 and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
και εν παση απατη τησ αδικιασ εν τοισ απολλυμενοισ ανθ ων την αγαπην τησ αληθειασ ουκ εδεξαντο εισ το σωθηναι αυτουσ
11 Because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion, that they should believe a lie,
και δια τουτο πεμψει αυτοισ ο θεοσ ενεργειαν πλανησ εισ το πιστευσαι αυτουσ τω ψευδει
12 that they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
ινα κριθωσιν παντεσ οι μη πιστευσαντεσ τη αληθεια αλλ ευδοκησαντεσ εν τη αδικια
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 Spirit and belief 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 to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining 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 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word or by letter.
αρα ουν αδελφοι στηκετε και κρατειτε τασ παραδοσεισ ασ εδιδαχθητε ειτε δια λογου ειτε δι επιστολησ ημων
16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, (aiōnios )
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 )
17 comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.
παρακαλεσαι υμων τασ καρδιασ και στηριξαι υμασ εν παντι λογω και εργω αγαθω
