2 Thessalonians 2:3-12

Godbey(i) 3 Let no one deceive you in any way: because unless there may first be an apostasy and the man of lawlessness may be revealed, the son of perdition, 4 the one opposing and exalting himself above everything that is called God or divinity; so that he sits in the temple of God, showing himself off that he is God. 5 Do you not remember that still being with you, I told you these things? 6 And now you know that which hinders, that he should be revealed in his time. 7 For already the mystery of lawlessness is working: only there is one now hindering, until he may be taken out of the midst; 8 then indeed will the lawless one be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will remove by the spirit of his mouth, and will exterminate by the brightness of his coming; 9 whose coming is according to the energy of Satan in all power and signs and wonders of falsehood, 10 and in all the deception of unrighteousness to those who perish; because they did not receive the divine love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And on this account God sends to them the working of delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 in order that they may all be condemned who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in unrighteousness.
