2 Thessalonians 2:4-12
4who opposes and exalts himself above 12every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, 3displaying himself as being God. 5Do you not remember that 4while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? 6And you know 5what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. 7For 6the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only 7he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. 8Then that lawless one 8will be revealed whom the Lord will slay 9with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the 10appearance of His 11coming; 9that is, the one whose 12coming is in accord with the activity of 13Satan, with all power and 1415signs and false wonders, 10and with 16all the deception of wickedness for 17those who perish, because they did not receive the love of 18the truth so as to be saved. 11For this reason 19God 20will send upon them 21a 22deluding influence so that they will believe 23what is false, 12in order that they all may be 24judged who 25did not believe the truth, but 2627took pleasure in wickedness.
