2 Thessalonians 2:3-17

31Let noG3361 oneG5100 in anyG3367 wayG5158 deceiveG1818 you, for it will not come unlessG1437G3361 the 23apostasyG646 comesG2064 firstG4413, and the 4manG444 of lawlessnessG458 is revealedG601, the 5sonG5207 of destructionG684, 4who opposesG480 and exaltsG5229 himself aboveG1909 67everyG3956 so-calledG3004 godG2316 orG2228 objectG4574 of worshipG4574, soG5620 that he takesG2523 his seatG2523 in the templeG3485 of GodG2316, 8displayingG584 himselfG1438 as beingG1510 GodG2316. 5Do you not rememberG3421 that 9while I was stillG2089 with you, I was tellingG3004 you theseG3778 thingsG3778? 6And you knowG3609 10what restrainsG2722 him nowG3568, soG1519 that in his timeG2540 he will be revealedG601. 7For 11the mysteryG3466 of lawlessnessG458 is alreadyG2235 at workG1754; onlyG3440 12he who nowG737 restrainsG2722 will do so untilG2193 he is takenG1096 out of the wayG3319. 8ThenG5119 that lawlessG459 oneG459 13will be revealedG601 whomG3739 the LordG2962 will slayG337 14with the breathG4151 of His mouthG4750 and bringG2673 to an endG2673 by the 15appearanceG2015 of His 16comingG3952; 9that is, the one whoseG3739 17comingG3952 is in accordG2596 with the activityG1753 of 18SatanG4567, with allG3956 powerG1411 and 1920signsG4592 and falseG5579 wondersG5059, 10and with 21allG3956 the deceptionG539 of wickednessG93 for 22thoseG3588 who perishG622, becauseG473G3739 they did not receiveG1209 the loveG26 of 23the truthG225 soG1519 as to be savedG4982. 11For thisG3778 reasonG1223 24GodG2316 25will sendG3992 upon them 26a 27deludingG4106 influenceG1753 soG1519 that they will believeG4100 28whatG5579 is falseG5579, 12in orderG2443 that they allG3956 may be 29judgedG2919 who 30did not believeG4100 the truthG225, but 3132tookG2106 pleasureG2106 in wickednessG93.

1333But we shouldG3784 alwaysG3842 giveG2168 thanksG2168 to GodG2316 for you, 34brethrenG80 belovedG25 by the LordG2962, becauseG3754 35GodG2316 has chosenG138 you 36from the beginningG746 37for salvationG4991 3839throughG1722 sanctificationG38 40by the SpiritG4151 and faithG4102 in the truthG225. 14It was for thisG3739 He 41calledG2564 you throughG1223 42our gospelG2098, 43that you may gainG4047 the gloryG1391 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 15SoG686 thenG686, brethrenG80, 44standG4739 firmG4739 and 45holdG2902 to the traditionsG3862 whichG3739 you were taughtG1321, whetherG1535 46by wordG3056 of mouth orG1535 47by letterG1992 48from us.

1649NowG1161 may our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 50HimselfG846 and GodG2316 our FatherG3962, who has 51lovedG25 us and givenG1325 us eternalG166 comfortG3874 and 52goodG18 hopeG1680 by graceG5485, 1753comfortG3870 and 54strengthenG4741 your heartsG2588 in everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041 and wordG3056.
