1 Now we be­seech you, brethren, by the com­ing of our Lord Je­sus Christ, and by our gath­er­ing to­geth­er unto him, 2 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. 3 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; 4 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. 5 Re­mem­ber ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what with­hold­eth that he might be re­vealed in his time. 7 For the mys­tery of in­iq­ui­ty doth al­ready work: only he who now let­teth will let, un­til he be tak­en out of the way. 8 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: 9 Even him, whose com­ing is af­ter the work­ing of Sa­tan with all pow­er and signs and ly­ing won­ders, 10 And with all de­ceiv­able­ness of un­righ­teous­ness in them that per­ish; be­cause they re­ceived not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delu­sion, that they should be­lieve a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who be­lieved not the truth, but had plea­sure in un­righ­teous­ness. 13 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: 14 Where­un­to he called you by our gospel, to the ob­tain­ing of the glo­ry of our Lord Je­sus Christ. 15 There­fore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the tra­di­tions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epis­tle. 16 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, 17 Com­fort your hearts, and sta­b­lish you in ev­ery good word and work.
