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, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and our gathering together to him, we ask you

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.

not to be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, saying that the day of the Lord had come.

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 one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

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.

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

5 Do ye not remember, that, when I was with you, I told you these things?

Do you not remember that, when I was still with you, I told you these things?

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

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

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 mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is 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.

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;

9 For the coming of that evil One, is the working of Satan, with all power, and signs, and lying wonders,

even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs 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 with all deception of wickedness for those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

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

And because of this, God sends them a strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,

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

in order that all might be judged who did not believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

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 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 Ruach and belief in the truth;

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.

to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

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

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

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 our Lord Yeshua the Messiah himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us everlasting comfort 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 establish you in every good work and word.
