Now we beseech
you
, brethren
, by
the coming
of our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
, and
by our
gathering together
unto
him
,
That 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
.
Let 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
;
Who 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
.
Remember ye not
, that
, when I was
yet
with
you
, I told
you
these things
?
And now
ye know
what withholdeth
that
he
might be revealed
in
his
time
.
For the mystery
of iniquity
doth
already
work
: only
he who now
letteth
will let , until
he be taken
out of
the way
.
And 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
:
Even him , whose coming
is
after
the working
of Satan
with
all
power
and
signs
and
lying
wonders
,
And with
all
deceivableness
of unrighteousness
in
them that perish
; because
they received
not
the love
of the truth
, that
they
might be saved
.
And for this
cause
God
shall send
them
strong
delusion
, that
they
should believe
a lie
:
That they all
might be damned
who
believed
not
the truth
, but
had pleasure
in
unrighteousness
.
But 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
:
Whereunto he called
you
by
our
gospel
, to
the obtaining
of the glory
of our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
Therefore, brethren
, stand fast
, and
hold
the traditions
which
ye have been taught
, whether
by
word
, or
our
epistle
.
Now our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
himself
, and
God
, even
our
Father
, which
hath loved
us
, and
hath given
us everlasting
consolation
and
good
hope
through
grace
,
Comfort your
hearts
, and
stablish
you
in
every
good
word
and
work
.
