2:1 Now brethren, we request of you*, on behalf of the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering-together upon {i.e. to, with} him,

2:2 *that* you* might not be quickly shaken from your* mind, nor be alarmed, (either through spirit, or through word, or through letter, as if it came through us), as that the day of the Christ is present.

2:3 Do not let anyone deceive you* in any manner, because that day will not come, if the apostasy does not come first and the man of sin, the son of destruction, should be revealed.

2:4 The one who lays in opposition to us and promotes himself against everyone being called* a god or worshiped object; so-as to sit in the temple of God as a god, showing himself-- that he is a god.

2:5 Do you* not remember that while still being with you*, I was speaking to you* about these things?

2:6 And now you* know what is holding him back, *that* he may be revealed in his own time.

2:7 For* the mystery of lawlessness is already working; only there is one who is holding it back now, until he should become from the midst of us.

2:8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will be consuming with the breath of his mouth and will be doing-away-with him by the appearing of his presence;

2:9 even he, whose presence is according to the working of the Adversary in every power and in signs and in lying wonders,

2:10 and in all deception of unrighteousness in those who are perishing, because they did not accept the love* of the truth, *that* they might be saved.

2:11 And because of this, God will be sending them a working of error, *that* they may believe in the lie;

2:12 in order that they all might be judged who did not believe the truth, but were delighted in unrighteousness.



2:13 But we ought to give-thanks to God always concerning you* brethren, beloved by the Lord, that God selected you* for himself from the beginning to salvation in holiness of the Spirit and in faith of the truth;

2:14 to which he called you* through our good-news, *for the acquisition of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2:15 Therefore, consequently*, brethren, stand-firm* and hold-fast* the traditions which you* were taught, whether through speech or through our letter.



2:16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God and Father who loved* us and gave us everlasting encouragement and good hope in his grace,

2:17 may comfort your* hearts and may establish you* in all the word and in good work.
