BLB(i)
3 No one should deceive you in any way, because it is not until the apostasy shall have come first, and the man of lawlessness shall have been revealed—the son of destruction,
4 the one opposing and exalting himself above every so-called god or object of worship—so as for him to sit down in the temple of God, setting forth that he himself is God.
5 Do you not remember that, being yet with you, I was saying these things to you?
6 And now you know that which is restraining for his being revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of lawlessness is working already; there is only the one at present restraining it, until he might be gone out of the midst.
