2 Thessalonians 2:7-12

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