Correction — the misconception concerning the day of the Lord's coming
2:1-12
2 Thes. 2
:1
2:1
Now we ask you, brothers,
1with regard to the
2acoming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our
bgathering together
3to Him,
2 Thes. 2
:2
2:2
That you be not quickly shaken
1in mind nor alarmed, neither by a
2aspirit nor by word nor by a letter as if by us, to the effect that the
3day of the Lord has come.
2 Thes. 2
:3
2:3
Let no one
1deceive you in any way, because
it will not come unless the
2aapostasy comes first and the
3man of
blawlessness is revealed, the
cson of
dperdition,
2 Thes. 2
:4
2:4
Who opposes and
1aexalts himself above all that is called
bGod or an object of worship, so that he
csits in the
2dtemple of God, setting himself forth,
saying that
ehe is God.
2 Thes. 2
:5
2:5
Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I said these things to you?
2 Thes. 2
:6
2:6
And now you know that which
1restrains, so that he might be revealed in his own
2time.
2 Thes. 2
:7
2:7
For it is the
1mystery of
alawlessness that is now operating,
but only until the one now restraining
2goes out of the way.
2 Thes. 2
:8
2:8
And then the
alawless one will be revealed (whom the Lord Jesus will
1slay by the
2bbreath of His
cmouth and
dbring to nothing by the
3manifestation of His
4ecoming),
2 Thes. 2
:9
2:9
The coming of whom is
1according to Satan's operation in all
apower and
bsigns and wonders of a
2lie
2 Thes. 2
:10
2:10
And in all deceit of unrighteousness among those who are
aperishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved.
2 Thes. 2
:11
2:11
And 1because of this God
asends to them an operation of error that they might believe the
blie,
2 Thes. 2
:12
2:12
So that all who have not believed the
atruth but have taken
1pleasure in unrighteousness might be judged.

Further encouragement
2:13—3:5
2 Thes. 2
:13
2:13
But we ought to
athank God always concerning you, brothers
bbeloved of the Lord, because God
1cchose you
2from the
dbeginning unto
esalvation in
3fsanctification of the Spirit and
4belief of the
gtruth,
2 Thes. 2
:14
2:14
To 1which also He
acalled you through our
bgospel unto the obtaining of the
2cglory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thes. 2
:15
2:15
So then, brothers,
astand firm and hold to the
1bthings which were handed down
to you and which you were taught, whether by word or by our letter.
2 Thes. 2
:16
2:16
Now our
1Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has
aloved us and given us
2eternal comfort and
3good bhope in
4grace,
2 Thes. 2
:17
2:17
Comfort your hearts and
aestablish you in every good work and word.
