Man of Lawlessness

1NowG1161 we requestG2065 you, 1brethrenG80, with regardG5228 to the 23comingG3952 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 and our 4gatheringG1997 togetherG1997 to Him, 2that you not be quicklyG5030 shakenG4531 from your 5composureG3563 orG3366 be disturbedG2360 eitherG3383 by a 6spiritG4151 orG3383 a 78messageG3056 orG3383 a 9letterG1992 as ifG5613 from us, to the effectG5613 that 10the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 11has comeG1764. 312Let noG3361 oneG5100 in anyG3367 wayG5158 deceiveG1818 you, for it will not come unlessG1437G3361 the 1314apostasyG646 comesG2064 firstG4413, and the 15manG444 of lawlessnessG458 is revealedG601, the 16sonG5207 of destructionG684, 4who opposesG480 and exaltsG5229 himself aboveG1909 1718everyG3956 so-calledG3004 godG2316 orG2228 objectG4574 of worshipG4574, soG5620 that he takesG2523 his seatG2523 in the templeG3485 of GodG2316, 19displayingG584 himselfG1438 as beingG1510 GodG2316. 5Do you not rememberG3421 that 20while I was stillG2089 with you, I was tellingG3004 you theseG3778 thingsG3778? 6And you knowG3609 21what restrainsG2722 him nowG3568, soG1519 that in his timeG2540 he will be revealedG601. 7For 22the mysteryG3466 of lawlessnessG458 is alreadyG2235 at workG1754; onlyG3440 23he who nowG737 restrainsG2722 will do so untilG2193 he is takenG1096 out of the wayG3319. 8ThenG5119 that lawlessG459 oneG459 24will be revealedG601 whomG3739 the LordG2962 will slayG337 25with the breathG4151 of His mouthG4750 and bringG2673 to an endG2673 by the 26appearanceG2015 of His 27comingG3952; 9that is, the one whoseG3739 28comingG3952 is in accordG2596 with the activityG1753 of 29SatanG4567, with allG3956 powerG1411 and 3031signsG4592 and falseG5579 wondersG5059, 10and with 32allG3956 the deceptionG539 of wickednessG93 for 33thoseG3588 who perishG622, becauseG473G3739 they did not receiveG1209 the loveG26 of 34the truthG225 soG1519 as to be savedG4982. 11For thisG3778 reasonG1223 35GodG2316 36will sendG3992 upon them 37a 38deludingG4106 influenceG1753 soG1519 that they will believeG4100 39whatG5579 is falseG5579, 12in orderG2443 that they allG3956 may be 40judgedG2919 who 41did not believeG4100 the truthG225, but 4243tookG2106 pleasureG2106 in wickednessG93.

1344But we shouldG3784 alwaysG3842 giveG2168 thanksG2168 to GodG2316 for you, 45brethrenG80 belovedG25 by the LordG2962, becauseG3754 46GodG2316 has chosenG138 you 47from the beginningG746 48for salvationG4991 4950throughG1722 sanctificationG38 51by the SpiritG4151 and faithG4102 in the truthG225. 14It was for thisG3739 He 52calledG2564 you throughG1223 53our gospelG2098, 54that you may gainG4047 the gloryG1391 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 15SoG686 thenG686, brethrenG80, 55standG4739 firmG4739 and 56holdG2902 to the traditionsG3862 whichG3739 you were taughtG1321, whetherG1535 57by wordG3056 of mouth orG1535 58by letterG1992 59from us.

1660NowG1161 may our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 61HimselfG846 and GodG2316 our FatherG3962, who has 62lovedG25 us and givenG1325 us eternalG166 comfortG3874 and 63goodG18 hopeG1680 by graceG5485, 1764comfortG3870 and 65strengthenG4741 your heartsG2588 in everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041 and wordG3056.
