vs. 3
Let not anyone deceive you, in no way, because unless the falling away
comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,
vs. 4
the one who exalts himself over everything called God, or the object of
worship, so as he sits in the temple of God as God, showing himself that
he is God.
vs. 5 Do
you not remember, that yet being with you, I told you these things?
vs. 6
And now the thing restraining you know, in order that he might be revealed
in his time.
vs. 7
For the mystery of lawlessness now works. Only he who restrains now, until
he comes into existence out from the midst.
vs. 8
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with
the breath of His mouth and make ineffective with the brightness of His
coming,
vs. 9 of
whom, the coming is according to the working of Satan in all power, signs
and wonders of a lie,
vs. 10
and in all deceit of unrighteousness in those being lost, because they did
not receive the love of the truth in order that they might be saved.
