New American Standard Bible 1995
2 Thessalonians 2:1-7
1Now we request you, 1brethren, with regard to the 23coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our 4gathering together to Him,
2that you not be quickly shaken from your 5composure or be disturbed either by a 6spirit or a 78message or a 9letter as if from us, to the effect that 10the day of the Lord 11has come.
312Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the 1314apostasy comes first, and the 15man of lawlessness is revealed, the 16son of destruction,
4who opposes and exalts himself above 1718every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, 19displaying himself as being God.
5Do you not remember that 20while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?
6And you know 21what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.
7For 22the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only 23he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.
