2 Thessalonians 2:6-12

6And you know 1what restrains him now, so that he will be revealed in his time. 7For 2the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only 3 4He who now restrains will do so until 5He is 6removed. 8Then that lawless one 7will be revealed, whom the Lord will eliminate 8with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the 9appearance of His 10coming; 9that is, the one whose 11coming is in accord with the activity of 12Satan, with all power and false 13 14signs and wonders, 10and with 15all the deception of wickedness for 16those who perish, because they did not accept the love of 17the truth so as to be saved. 11For this reason 18God 19will send upon them 20a 21deluding influence so that they will believe 22what is false, 12in order that they all may be 23judged who 24did not believe the truth, but 25 26took pleasure in wickedness.
