002:001

That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand

002:002

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition

002:003

Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God

002:004

Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things

002:005

And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time

002:006

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way

002:007

And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming

002:008

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders

002:009

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved

002:010

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie

002:011

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness

002:012

But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth

002:013

Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ

002:014

Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle

002:015

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace

002:016

Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work
