1And we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and of our gathering together unto him:
1Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2That you be not easily moved from your sense nor be terrified, neither by spirit nor by word nor by epistle. as sent from us, as if the day of the Lord were at hand.
2That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3Let no man deceive you by any means: for unless there come a revolt first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition
3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4Who opposeth and is lifted up above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself as if he were God.
4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5Remember you not that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6And now you know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his time.
6And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7For the mystery of iniquity already worketh: only that he who now holdeth do hold, until he be taken out of the way.
7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8And then that wicked one shall be revealed: whom the Lord Jesus shall kill with the spirit of his mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: him
8And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9Whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power and signs and lying wonders:
9Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish: because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying:
10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11That all may be judged who have not believed the truth but have consented to iniquity.
11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of God, for that God hath chosen you firstfruits unto salvation, in sanctification of the spirit and faith of the truth:
12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13Whereunto also he hath called you by our gospel, unto the purchasing of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
13But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14Therefore, brethren, stand fast: and hold the traditions, which you have learned, whether by word or by our epistle.
14Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God and our Father, who hath loved us and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope in grace,
15Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
