2 Thessalonians 2

NASB

[ ]

2 Thes 2:1

& Now we request you, brethren, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,

2 Thes 2:2

& that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

2 Thes 2:3

& Let no one in any way deceive you, for {it will not come} unless the (Or {falling away} from the faith) apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

2 Thes 2:4

& who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.

2 Thes 2:5

& Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?

2 Thes 2:6

& And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.

2 Thes 2:7

& For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains {will do so} until he is taken out of the way.

2 Thes 2:8

& Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;

2 Thes 2:9

& {that is,} the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,

2 Thes 2:10

& and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.

2 Thes 2:11

& For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false,

2 Thes 2:12

& in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.

2 Thes 2:13

& But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you (One early ms reads {first fruits}) from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.

2 Thes 2:14

& It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Thes 2:15

& So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word {of mouth} or by letter from us.
