* Now we urge you (note :){+}(:note ), brothers , concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ , and our gathering together to him ; * to the end that you (note :){+}(:note ) are not quickly shaken from your {+} mind , nor yet be troubled , either by spirit , or by word , or by letter as from us , as that the day of the Lord is just at hand ; * let no man beguile you (note :){+}(:note ) in any wise : for [it will not be ,] except the falling away comes first , and the man of lawlessness is revealed , the son of perdition , * he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped ; so that he sits in the temple of God , setting himself forth as God . * Don 't you (note :){+}(:note ) remember , that , when I was yet with you {+}, I told you {+} these things ? * And now you (note :){+}(:note ) know that which restrains , to the end that he may be revealed in his own season . * For the mystery of lawlessness does already work : only [there is ] one who restrains now , until he is removed . * And then will be revealed the lawless one , whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of his mouth , and bring to nothing by the manifestation of his coming ; * [even he ], whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders , * and with all deceit of unrighteousness for those who perish ; because they did not receive the love of the truth , that they might be saved . * And for this cause God sends them a working of error , that they should believe a lie : * that all who did not believe the truth , but had pleasure in unrighteousness , would be judged . * But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you (note :){+}(:note ), brothers beloved of the Lord , for that God chose you {+} from the beginning to salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth : * to which he also called you (note :){+}(:note ) through our good news , to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ . * So then , brothers , stand fast , and hold the traditions which you (note :){+}(:note ) were taught , whether by word , or by letter of ours . * Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself , and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace , * comfort your (note :){+}(:note ) hearts and establish them in every good work and word .
