\subsection{II Thessalonians 2}
|
|
\VS{1} We ask\fnErotao{} you, brothers, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our
|
|
assembling to him,
|
|
\VS{2} that you be not swiftly shaken in mind nor be
|
|
frightened, neither through spirit nor through word nor through letter as
|
|
from us, as that the day of the Lord has come.
|
|
\VS{3} Let no one deceive you
|
|
in any manner, for [that day shall not come] unless the apostasy first come and the man of
|
|
sin\footnote{``sin": \koine{}D \vulgate{}, ``lawlessness": \sinaiticus{}B} be revealed, the son
|
|
of destruction,
|
|
\VS{4} the [one] opposing and raising himself above all being
|
|
called God, or object of worship, so that he sits in the temple of God,
|
|
showing himself that he is God.
|
|
\VS{5} Don't you remember that while being
|
|
with you I was saying these [things] to you?
|
|
\VS{7} And now you know the restraint,
|
|
to the end that he be revealed in his time.
|
|
\VS{7} For the mystery of
|
|
lawlessness already works; only the restraint [will] now [continue] until it be taken out of
|
|
the midst.
|
|
\VS{8} And then the lawless [one] will be revealed, whom the Lord
|
|
Jesus will slay with the spirit of his mouth, and will abolish the
|
|
appearance of his coming,
|
|
\VS{9} whose coming is according to the working of
|
|
satan with all ability and power and false wonders,
|
|
\VS{10} and in all
|
|
deception of unjustness to those perishing, because they did not receive the
|
|
agape-love of truth to the end that they be saved.
|
|
\VS{11} And because of
|
|
this God sends to them the working of deception to the end that they believe
|
|
in the false,
|
|
\VS{12} in order that all those not having believed in the
|
|
truth, but having taken pleasure in the unjust, be judged.
|
|
\VS{13} But we
|
|
ought to be thanking God always concerning you, brothers agape-beloved by
|
|
[the] Lord, because God has chosen you [to be] first-fruits for salvation by [the]
|
|
holyfication of [the] spirit and [the] belief of [the] truth,
|
|
\VS{14} for which he called
|
|
you through our goodnews, for the obtaining of [the] glory of our Lord Jesus
|
|
Christ.
|
|
\VS{15} Therefore, brothers, stand [fast], and be holding to the
|
|
traditions which you were taught, whether through word or through letter.
|
|
\VS{16} Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our father, the [one] having
|
|
agape-loved you and having given eternal encouragement and good hope in
|
|
grace,
|
|
\VS{17} encourage your heart and establish [it] in every good work and
|
|
word.
