2 Thessalonians 2:6-12

6And you know 1what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. 7For 2the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only 3he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. 8Then that lawless one 4will be revealed whom the Lord will slay 5with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the 6appearance of His 7coming; 9that is, the one whose 8coming is in accord with the activity of 9Satan, with all power and 10 11signs and false wonders, 10and with 12all the deception of wickedness for 13those who perish, because they did not receive the love of 14the truth so as to be saved. 11For this reason 15God 16will send upon them 17a 18deluding influence so that they will believe 19what is false, 12in order that they all may be 20judged who 21did not believe the truth, but 22 23took pleasure in wickedness.
