2 Thessalonians 2:3-12

Bishops(i) 3 Let no man deceaue you by any meanes, for [the Lorde shall not come] excepte there come a fallyng away first, & that that man of sinne be reuealed, the sonne of perdition 4 [Whiche is] an aduersarie, and is exalted aboue all that is called God, or that is worshipped: so that he as God, sitteth in the temple of God, shewing hym selfe that he is God 5 Remember ye not, that when I was yet with you, I tolde you these thynges 6 And nowe ye knowe what withholdeth, that he myght be reuealed in his tyme 7 For the misterie of iniquitie doth alredie worke, tyll he whiche nowe onlye letteth, be taken out of the way 8 And then shall that wicked be reuealed, whom the Lorde shall consume with the spirite of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightnesse of his commyng 9 [Euen hym] whose commyng is after the workyng of Satan, in all power & signes, and wonders, of lying 10 And in all deceauablenesse of vnryghteousnesse, in them that peryshe: because they receaued not the loue of the trueth, that they myght be saued 11 And therefore God shall sende them strong delusion, that they should beleue lyes 12 That all they myght be dampned whiche beleued not the trueth, but had pleasure in vnryghteousnes
