2 Thessalonians 2:4-11 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.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ 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.
