Dual Panel1Now <1161> we beseech <2065> (5719) you <5209>_, brethren <80>_, by <5228> the coming <3952> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>_, and <2532> [by] our <2257> gathering together <1997> unto <1909> him <846>_, {unto him: or, around him}
2That <1519> ye <5209> be <4531> (0) not <3361> soon <5030> shaken <4531> (5683) in <575> mind <3563>_, or <3383> be troubled <2360> (5745)_, neither <3383> by <1223> spirit <4151>_, nor <3383> by <1223> word <3056>_, nor <3383> by <1223> letter <1992> as <5613> from <1223> us <2257>_, as <5613> that <3754> the day <2250> of Christ <5547> is at hand <1764> (5758)_.
3Let <1818> (0) no <3361> man <5100> deceive <1818> (5661) you <5209> by <2596> any <3367> means <5158>_: for <3754> [that day shall not come], except <3362> there come <2064> (5632) a falling away <646> first <4412>_, and <2532> that man <444> of sin <266> be revealed <601> (5686)_, the son <5207> of perdition <684>_;
4Who <3588> opposeth <480> (5740) and <2532> exalteth <5229> (5746) himself above <1909> all <3956> that is called <3004> (5746) God <2316>_, or <2228> that is worshipped <4574>_; so <5620> that he <846> as <5613> God <2316> sitteth <2523> (5658) in <1519> the temple <3485> of God <2316>_, shewing <584> (5723) himself <1438> that <3754> he is <2076> (5748) God <2316>_.
5Remember ye <3421> (5719) not <3756>_, that <3754>_, when I was <5607> (5752) yet <2089> with <4314> you <5209>_, I told <3004> (5707) you <5213> these things <5023>_?
6And <2532> now <3568> ye know <1492> (5758) what withholdeth <2722> (5723) that <1519> he <846> might be revealed <601> (5683) in <1722> his <1438> time <2540>_. {withholdeth: or, holdeth}
7For <1063> the mystery <3466> of iniquity <458> doth <1754> (0) already <2235> work <1754> (5731)_: only <3440> he who now <737> letteth <2722> (5723) [will let], until <2193> he be taken <1096> (5638) out of <1537> the way <3319>_.
8And <2532> then <5119> shall <601> (0) that Wicked <459> be revealed <601> (5701)_, whom <3739> the Lord <2962> shall consume <355> (5692) with the spirit <4151> of his <846> mouth <4750>_, and <2532> shall destroy <2673> (5692) with the brightness <2015> of his <846> coming <3952>_:
9[Even him], whose <3739> coming <3952> is <2076> (5748) after <2596> the working <1753> of Satan <4567> with <1722> all <3956> power <1411> and <2532> signs <4592> and <2532> lying <5579> wonders <5059>_,
10And <2532> with <1722> all <3956> deceivableness <539> of unrighteousness <93> in <1722> them that perish <622> (5730)_; because <473> <3739> they received <1209> (5662) not <3756> the love <26> of the truth <225>_, that <1519> they <846> might be saved <4982> (5683)_.
11And <2532> for this <5124> cause <1223> God <2316> shall send <3992> (5692) them <846> strong <1753> delusion <4106>_, that <1519> they <846> should believe <4100> (5658) a lie <5579>_:
12That <2443> they all <3956> might be damned <2919> (5686) who <3588> believed <4100> (5660) not <3361> the truth <225>_, but <235> had pleasure <2106> (5660) in <1722> unrighteousness <93>_.
13But <1161> we <2249> are bound <3784> (5719) to give thanks <2168> (5721) alway <3842> to God <2316> for <4012> you <5216>_, brethren <80> beloved <25> (5772) of <5259> the Lord <2962>_, because <3754> God <2316> hath <138> (0) from <575> the beginning <746> chosen <138> (5639) you <5209> to <1519> salvation <4991> through <1722> sanctification <38> of the Spirit <4151> and <2532> belief <4102> of the truth <225>_:
14Whereunto <1519> <3739> he called <2564> (5656) you <5209> by <1223> our <2257> gospel <2098>_, to <1519> the obtaining <4047> of the glory <1391> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>_.
15Therefore <686> <3767>_, brethren <80>_, stand fast <4739> (5720)_, and <2532> hold <2902> (5720) the traditions <3862> which <3739> ye have been taught <1321> (5681)_, whether <1535> by <1223> word <3056>_, or <1535> <1223> our <2257> epistle <1992>_.
16Now <1161> our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> himself <846>_, and <2532> God <2316>_, even <2532> our <2257> Father <3962>_, which <3588> hath loved <25> (5660) us <2248>_, and <2532> hath given <1325> (5631) [us] everlasting <166> consolation <3874> and <2532> good <18> hope <1680> through <1722> grace <5485>_,
17Comfort <3870> (5659) your <5216> hearts <2588>_, and <2532> stablish <4741> (5659) you <5209> in <1722> every <3956> good <18> word <3056> and <2532> work <2041>_.
