6And you knowG3609 1what restrainsG2722 him nowG3568, soG1519 that in his timeG2540 he will be revealedG601. 7For 2the mysteryG3466 of lawlessnessG458 is alreadyG2235 at workG1754; onlyG3440 3he who nowG737 restrainsG2722 will do so untilG2193 he is takenG1096 out of the wayG3319. 8ThenG5119 that lawlessG459 oneG459 4will be revealedG601 whomG3739 the LordG2962 will slayG337 5with the breathG4151 of His mouthG4750 and bringG2673 to an endG2673 by the 6appearanceG2015 of His 7comingG3952; 9that is, the one whoseG3739 8comingG3952 is in accordG2596 with the activityG1753 of 9SatanG4567, with allG3956 powerG1411 and 1011signsG4592 and falseG5579 wondersG5059, 10and with 12allG3956 the deceptionG539 of wickednessG93 for 13thoseG3588 who perishG622, becauseG473G3739 they did not receiveG1209 the loveG26 of 14the truthG225 soG1519 as to be savedG4982. 11For thisG3778 reasonG1223 15GodG2316 16will sendG3992 upon them 17a 18deludingG4106 influenceG1753 soG1519 that they will believeG4100 19whatG5579 is falseG5579, 12in orderG2443 that they allG3956 may be 20judgedG2919 who 21did not believeG4100 the truthG225, but 2223tookG2106 pleasureG2106 in wickednessG93.

1324But we shouldG3784 alwaysG3842 giveG2168 thanksG2168 to GodG2316 for you, 25brethrenG80 belovedG25 by the LordG2962, becauseG3754 26GodG2316 has chosenG138 you 27from the beginningG746 28for salvationG4991 2930throughG1722 sanctificationG38 31by the SpiritG4151 and faithG4102 in the truthG225. 14It was for thisG3739 He 32calledG2564 you throughG1223 33our gospelG2098, 34that you may gainG4047 the gloryG1391 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 15SoG686 thenG686, brethrenG80, 35standG4739 firmG4739 and 36holdG2902 to the traditionsG3862 whichG3739 you were taughtG1321, whetherG1535 37by wordG3056 of mouth orG1535 38by letterG1992 39from us.

1640NowG1161 may our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 41HimselfG846 and GodG2316 our FatherG3962, who has 42lovedG25 us and givenG1325 us eternalG166 comfortG3874 and 43goodG18 hopeG1680 by graceG5485, 1744comfortG3870 and 45strengthenG4741 your heartsG2588 in everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041 and wordG3056.
