| The Book of 2nd Thessalonians 2 | ||||||||||||||||
| The Weymouth New Testament Online Bible (WEY) | ||||||||||||||||
| 2nd Thessalonians 2:1 | But with respect to the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to meet Him, we entreat you, brethren, | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Thessalonians 2:2 | not readily to become unsettled in mind or troubled either by any pretended spiritual revelation or by any message or letter claiming to have been sent by us through fancying that the day of the Lord is now here. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Thessalonians 2:3 | Let no one in any way deceive you, for that day cannot come without the coming of the apostasy first, and the appearing of the man of sin, the son of perdition, who sets himself against, | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Thessalonians 2:4 | and exalts himself above, every so-called `god' or object of worship, and goes the length of taking his seat in the very temple of God, giving it out that he himself is God. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Thessalonians 2:5 | Do you not remember that while I was still with you I used to tell you all this? | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Thessalonians 2:6 | And now you know what restrains him, in order that his true character may be revealed at his appointed time. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Thessalonians 2:7 | For lawlessness is already at work in secret; but only until the man who is now exercising a restraining influence is removed, | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Thessalonians 2:8 | and then the Lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will sweep away with the tempest of His anger, and utterly overwhelm by the awful splendour of His Coming. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Thessalonians 2:9 | The appearing of the Lawless one will be attended by various miracles and tokens and delusive marvels for so Satan works | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Thessalonians 2:10 | and by every kind of wicked deception for those who are on the way to perdition because they did not welcome into their hearts the love of the truth, so that they might be saved. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Thessalonians 2:11 | And for this reason God sends them a misleading influence that they may believe the lie; | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Thessalonians 2:12 | in order that all may come under judgement who have refused to believe the truth and have taken pleasure in unrighteousness. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Thessalonians 2:13 | And from us thanks are always due to God on your behalf brethren whom the Lord loves because God from the beginning has chosen you for salvation through the Spirit's sanctifying influence and your belief in the truth. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Thessalonians 2:14 | To this blessing God has called you by our Good News, so that you may have a share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Thessalonians 2:15 | So then, brethren, stand your ground, and hold fast to the teachings which you have received from us, whether by word of mouth or by letter. | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Thessalonians 2:16 | And may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father who has loved us and has given us in His grace eternal consolation and a bright hope | |||||||||||||||
| 2nd Thessalonians 2:17 | comfort your hearts and make you stedfast in every good work and word. | |||||||||||||||
