2 Thessalonians 2

1 But we entreat of you, my brethren, in regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, and in respect to our being congregated unto him,

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

2 that ye be not soon agitated in your mind, nor be troubled, neither by word, nor by spirit, nor by letter, as coming from us, that lo, the day of our Lord is at hand.

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; because that day will not come, unless there previously come a defection, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

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 who is an opposer, and exalteth himself above all that is called God and Worshipful; so that he also sitteth in the temple of God, as a God, and displayeth himself, as if he were 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 Do ye not remember, that, when I was with you, I told you these things?

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

6 And now, ye know what hindereth his being manifested in his time.

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

7 For the mystery of the evil One already beginneth to be operative: and only, if that which now hindereth shall be taken from the midst;

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 at length will that evil One be revealed; whom our Lord Jesus will consume by the breath of his mouth, and will bring to naught by the visibility of his advent.

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 For the coming of that evil One, is 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 the deceptiveness of iniquity, in them that perish; because they did not receive the love of the truth, by which they might have life.

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 Therefore God will send upon them the operation of deception, that they may believe a lie;

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

12 and that they all may be condemned, who believe not the truth, but have pleasure in iniquity.

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

13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always, on your account, my brethren beloved of our Lord, that God hath from the beginning chosen you unto life, through sanctification of the Spirit, and through faith 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 For unto these it was, that God called you by our preaching; that ye might be the glory to our Lord Jesus the Messiah.

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

15 Therefore, my brethren, be established, and persevere in the precepts which ye have been taught, whether by word or by our epistle.

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

16 And may our Lord Jesus the Messiah himself, and God our Father, who hath loved us, and given us everlasting consolation and a good hope through his 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 word, and in every good work.

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