7For 1the mysteryG3466 of lawlessnessG458 is alreadyG2235 at workG1754; onlyG3440 2he who nowG737 restrainsG2722 will do so untilG2193 he is takenG1096 out of the wayG3319. 8ThenG5119 that lawlessG459 oneG459 3will be revealedG601 whomG3739 the LordG2962 will slayG337 4with the breathG4151 of His mouthG4750 and bringG2673 to an endG2673 by the 5appearanceG2015 of His 6comingG3952; 9that is, the one whoseG3739 7comingG3952 is in accordG2596 with the activityG1753 of 8SatanG4567, with allG3956 powerG1411 and 9 10signsG4592 and falseG5579 wondersG5059, 10and with 11allG3956 the deceptionG539 of wickednessG93 for 12thoseG3588 who perishG622, becauseG473 G3739 they did not receiveG1209 the loveG26 of 13the truthG225 soG1519 as to be savedG4982. 11For thisG3778 reasonG1223 14GodG2316 15will sendG3992 upon them 16a 17deludingG4106 influenceG1753 soG1519 that they will believeG4100 18whatG5579 is falseG5579, 12in orderG2443 that they allG3956 may be 19judgedG2919 who 20did not believeG4100 the truthG225, but 21 22tookG2106 pleasureG2106 in wickednessG93.

13 23But we shouldG3784 alwaysG3842 giveG2168 thanksG2168 to GodG2316 for you, 24brethrenG80 belovedG25 by the LordG2962, becauseG3754 25GodG2316 has chosenG138 you 26from the beginningG746 27for salvationG4991 28 29throughG1722 sanctificationG38 30by the SpiritG4151 and faithG4102 in the truthG225. 14It was for thisG3739 He 31calledG2564 you throughG1223 32our gospelG2098, 33that you may gainG4047 the gloryG1391 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 15SoG686 thenG686, brethrenG80, 34standG4739 firmG4739 and 35holdG2902 to the traditionsG3862 whichG3739 you were taughtG1321, whetherG1535 36by wordG3056 of mouth orG1535 37by letterG1992 38from us.

16 39NowG1161 may our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 40HimselfG846 and GodG2316 our FatherG3962, who has 41lovedG25 us and givenG1325 us eternalG166 comfortG3874 and 42goodG18 hopeG1680 by graceG5485, 17 43comfortG3870 and 44strengthenG4741 your heartsG2588 in everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041 and wordG3056.
