LEB(i)
3 Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,
4 who opposes and who exalts himself over every so-called god or object of worship, so that he sits down in the temple of God, proclaiming that he himself is God.
5 Do you not remember that while* we were still with you, we were saying these things to you?
6 And you know that which restrains him now, so that he will be revealed in his own time.
7 For the mystery of lawlessness is at work already; only the one who now restrains* will do so until he is out of the way,*
8 and then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of his mouth, and wipe out by the appearance of his coming,
