2 Thessalonians 2:3-12

Thomson(i) 3 Let no one by any means deceive you that it is, until the apostacy hath first come, and the man of sin hath been revealed: that son of perdition 4 who setteth himself against, and exalteth himself above, all that is called God, or an object of worship; so as to seat himself as God in the temple of God, pointing himself out that he is God. 5 Do you not remember that while I was yet with you I told you these things? 6 And you know what it is which now restraineth, to the end that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of this iniquity is now in operation, but there is one who yet restraineth. When he is out of the way, 8 then will be revealed that lawless one, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of his mouth. With the brightness of his coming he will indeed put a stop to the operations 9 of him, whose coming is according to the energy of satan, with' all the power, and signs, and wonders of falsehood, 10 and with all the deceit of this unrighteousness among them who perish. Because they did not embrace the love of the truth that they might be saved; 11 for this cause therefore God will send them the energy of delusion, that they may believe this falsehood; 12 that all may be condemned who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness.
