2 Thessalonians 2:7-12

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