*
Now ,
regarding the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
and our being gathered to him ,
we ask you ,
brethren ,
*
That you not be quickly shaken in mind ,
or alarmed ,
either by spirit ,
or by word ,
or by letter purporting to be from us ,
saying that the day of Christ is at hand .
*
Let no man deceive you in any way :
for that day shall not come ,
until there is first a falling away ,
and the man of lawlessness is revealed ,
the son of perdition ;
*
Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God ,
or that is worshipped ;
so that he sits as God in the temple of God ,
proclaiming himself to be God .
*
Do you not remember ,
that when I was yet with you ,
I told you these things ?
*
And you know what restrains him now ,
that he might be revealed in his time .
*
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work :
only he who now restrains it will do so ,
until he is taken out of the way .
*
And then shall the lawless one be revealed ,
whom the Lord shall slay with the breath of his mouth ,
and shall destroy by the brightness of his coming .
*
The coming of the lawless one is through the working of Satan ,
with all power and signs and lying wonders ,
*
And with all wicked deception for those who perish ;
because they did not receive the love of the truth ,
that they might be saved .
*
And for this reason God shall send them a strong delusion ,
that they should believe a lie :
*
That all those might be condemned who did not believe the truth ,
but took pleasure in unrighteousness .
