2Thessalonians:2:1 @
Now we request you ,
brethren ,
with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him ,
nasb @
2Thessalonians: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 .
nasb @
2Thessalonians:2:3 @
Let no one in any way deceive you ,
for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first ,
and the man of lawlessness is revealed ,
the son of destruction ,
nasb @
2Thessalonians: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 .
nasb @
2Thessalonians:2:5 @
Do you not remember that while I was still with you ,
I was telling you these things ?
nasb @
2Thessalonians:2:6 @
And you know what restrains him now ,
so that in his time he will be revealed .
nasb @
2Thessalonians: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 .
nasb @
2Thessalonians: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 ;
nasb @
2Thessalonians:2:9 @
that is ,
the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan ,
with all power and signs and false wonders ,
nasb @
2Thessalonians: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 .
nasb @
2Thessalonians:2:11 @
For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false ,
nasb @
2Thessalonians:2:12 @
in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth ,
but took pleasure in wickedness .
