* Now we plead to you , brethren , by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ , and by our gathering together unto him , * That all of you be not soon shaken in mind , or be troubled , neither by spirit , (o . pneuma ) nor by word , (o . logos ) nor by letter as from us , as that the day of Christ is at hand . * Let no man deceive you by any means : for that day shall not come , except there come a falling away first , and that man of sin be revealed , the son of perdition ; * Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God , or that is worshipped ; so that he as God sits in the temple of God , showing himself that he is God . * Remember all of you not , that , when I was yet with you , I told you these things ? * And now all of you know what withholds that he might be revealed in his time . * For the mystery of iniquity does already work : only he who now lets will let , until he be taken out of the way . * And then shall that Wicked be revealed , whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit (o . pneuma ) of his mouth , and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming : * Even him , whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders , * And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish ; because they received not the love (o . agape ) of the truth , that they might be saved . * And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion , that they should believe a lie : * That they all might be damned who believed not the truth , but had pleasure in unrighteousness . * But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you , brethren beloved of the Lord , because God has from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit (o . pneuma ) and belief of the truth : * Unto which he called you by our gospel , to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ . * Therefore , brethren , stand fast , and hold the traditions which all of you have been taught , whether by word , (o . logos ) or our epistle . * Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself , and God , even our Father , which has loved us , and has given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace , * Comfort your hearts , and establish you in every good word (o . logos ) and work .
