2 Thessalonians 2:3-12

Lamsa(i) 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, unless it is preceded by a rebellion, and the man of sin be revealed as the son of perdition, 4 Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is reverenced; so that even in the temple of God, he sits as a god, and shows himself, as though he were a god. 5 Do you not remember, that when I was with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what has prevented him from being revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity is already at work: until he who now is the obstacle be taken out of the way. 8 Then shall the Wicked be exposed, that one whom our LORD Jesus shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the revelation of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is due to the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceitfulness of unrighteousness in those who perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved thereby. 11 For this cause God shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie. 12 That they all, who did not believe in the truth but preferred unrighteousness, might be damned.
