2 Thessalonians 2

1 And we ask you, brethren, in regard to the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together unto him,

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ, and by our assembling vnto him,

2 that ye be 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 Christ hath arrived;

That ye be not suddenly mooued from your minde, nor troubled neither by spirit, nor by worde, nor by letter, as it were from vs, as though the day of Christ were at hand.

3 let not any one deceive you in any manner, because — if the falling away may not come first, and the man of sin be revealed — the son of the destruction,

Let no man deceiue you by any meanes: for that day shall not come, except there come a departing first, and that that man of sinne be disclosed, euen the sonne of perdition,

4 who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called God or worshipped, so that he in the sanctuary of God as God hath sat down, shewing himself off that he is God — [the day doth not come].

Which is an aduersarie, and exalteth him selfe against all that is called God, or that is worshipped: so that he doeth sit as God in the Temple of God, shewing him selfe that he is God.

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

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

6 and now, what is keeping down ye have known, for his being revealed in his own time,

And nowe ye knowe what withholdeth that he might be reueiled in his time.

7 for the secret of the lawlessness doth already work, only he who is keeping down now [will hinder] — till he may be out of the way,

For the mysterie of iniquitie doeth already worke: onely he which nowe withholdeth, shall let till he be taken out of the way.

8 and then shall be revealed the Lawless One, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the manifestation of his presence,

And then shall that wicked man be reueiled, whome the Lord shall consume with the Spirit of his mouth, and shall abolish with the brightnes of his comming,

9 [him, ] whose presence is according to the working of the Adversary, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders,

Euen him whose comming is by the effectuall working of Satan, with all power, and signes, and lying wonders,

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

And in al deceiuablenes of vnrighteousnes, among them that perish, because they receiued not the loue of the trueth, that they might be saued.

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

And therefore God shall send them strong delusion, that they should beleeue lies,

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

That all they might be damned which beleeued not the trueth, but had pleasure in vnrighteousnes.

13 And we — we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, that God did choose you from the beginning to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth,

But we ought to giue thankes alway to God for you, brethren beloued of the Lord, because that God hath from the beginning chosen you to saluation, through sanctification of the Spirit, and the faith of trueth,

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

Whereunto he called you by our Gospel, to obtaine the glory of our Lord Iesus Christ.

15 so, then, brethren, stand ye fast, and hold the deliverances that ye were taught, whether through word, whether through our letter;

Therefore, brethren, stand fast and keepe the instructions, which ye haue bene taught, either by worde, or by our Epistle.

16 and may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who did love us, and did give comfort age-during, and good hope in grace, (aiōnios g166)

Now the same Iesus Christ our Lord; and our God euen the Father which hath loued vs, and hath giuen vs euerlasting consolation 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 you in euery word and good worke.
