2 Thessalonians 2

1 Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him, we ask you

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ, and by our assembling vnto him,

2 not to be quickly shaken in your mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter as if from us, saying that the day of Christ has already come.

That ye be not suddenly mooued from your minde, nor troubled neither by spirit, nor by worde, nor by letter, as it were from vs, as though the day of Christ were at hand.

3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction.

Let no man deceiue you by any meanes: for that day shall not come, except there come a departing first, and that that man of sinne be disclosed, euen the sonne of perdition,

4 He opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.

Which is an aduersarie, and exalteth him selfe against all that is called God, or that is worshipped: so that he doeth sit as God in the Temple of God, shewing him selfe that he is God.

5 Don’t you remember that when I was still with you, I told you these things?

Remember ye not, that when I was yet with you, I tolde you these things?

6 Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

And nowe ye knowe what withholdeth that he might be reueiled in his time.

7 For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.

For the mysterie of iniquitie doeth already worke: onely he which nowe withholdeth, shall let till he be taken out of the way.

8 Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;

And then shall that wicked man be reueiled, whome the Lord shall consume with the Spirit of his mouth, and shall abolish with the brightnes of his comming,

9 even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

Euen him whose comming is by the effectuall working of Satan, with all power, and signes, and lying wonders,

10 and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

And in al deceiuablenes of vnrighteousnes, among them that perish, because they receiued not the loue of the trueth, that they might be saued.

11 Because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion, that they should believe a lie,

And therefore God shall send them strong delusion, that they should beleeue lies,

12 that they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

That all they might be damned which beleeued not the trueth, but had pleasure in vnrighteousnes.

13 But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth,

But we ought to giue thankes alway to God for you, brethren beloued of the Lord, because that God hath from the beginning chosen you to saluation, through sanctification of the Spirit, and the faith of trueth,

14 to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Whereunto he called you by our Gospel, to obtaine the glory of our Lord Iesus Christ.

15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word or by letter.

Therefore, brethren, stand fast and keepe the instructions, which ye haue bene taught, either by worde, or by our Epistle.

16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166)

Now the same Iesus Christ our Lord; and our God euen the Father which hath loued vs, and hath giuen vs euerlasting consolation and good hope through grace, (aiōnios g166)

17 comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.

Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in euery word and good worke.
