* Now we beseech (5719 ) you , brethren , by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ , and by our gathering together unto him , * That ye be not soon shaken (5683 ) in mind , or be troubled (5745 ), neither by spirit , nor by word , nor by letter as from us , as that the day of Christ is at hand (5758 ). * Let no man deceive (5661 ) you by any means : for that day shall not come , except there come (5632 ) a falling away first , and that man of sin be revealed (5686 ), the son of perdition ; * Who opposeth (5740 ) and exalteth (5746 ) himself above all that is called (5746 ) God , or that is worshipped ; so that he as God sitteth (5658 ) in the temple of God , shewing (5723 ) himself that he is (5748 ) God . * Remember ye (5719 ) not , that , when I was (5752 ) yet with you , I told (5707 ) you these things ? * And now ye know (5758 ) what withholdeth (5723 ) that he might be revealed (5683 ) in his time . * For the mystery of iniquity doth already work (5731 ): only he who now letteth (5723 ) will let , until he be taken (5638 ) out of the way . * And then shall that Wicked be revealed (5701 ), whom the Lord shall consume (5692 ) with the spirit of his mouth , and shall destroy (5692 ) with the brightness of his coming : * Even him , whose coming is (5748 ) after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders , * And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish (5730 ); because they received (5662 ) not the love of the truth , that they might be saved (5683 ). * And for this cause God shall send (5692 ) them strong delusion , that they should believe (5658 ) a lie : * That they all might be damned (5686 ) who believed (5660 ) not the truth , but had pleasure (5660 ) in unrighteousness . * But we are bound (5719 ) to give thanks (5721 ) alway to God for you , brethren beloved (5772 ) of the Lord , because God hath from the beginning chosen (5639 ) you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth : * Whereunto he called (5656 ) you by our gospel , to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ . * Therefore , brethren , stand fast (5720 ), and hold (5720 ) the traditions which ye have been taught (5681 ), whether by word , or our epistle . * Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself , and God , even our Father , which hath loved (5660 ) us , and hath given (5631 ) us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace , * Comfort (5659 ) your hearts , and stablish (5659 ) you in every good word and work .
