          DASV: 2 Thessalonians 2    

1 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our
being gathered to him, we ask you brothers
2 not to be easily shaken in mind, or alarmed, either by a spirit,
word, or a letter supposed to be from us, alleging that the
day of the Lord has already come.
3 Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not
come until the falling away comes first, and the man of
lawlessness is revealed, the one destined to destruction.
4 He opposes and exalts himself over every so-called god or
object of worship; so that he will sit in the temple of God,
setting himself up as God.
5 Do you not recall that when I was still with you, I told you
these things?
6 Now you know what is restraining him, so that he will be
revealed when his time comes.
7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. However
there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.
8 Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus
will destroy with the breath of his mouth, and bring him to
nothing by the splendor of his coming.
9 The coming of the lawless one will be by the working of Satan
with all power, signs and lying wonders and
10 with every kind of wicked deception deceiving those who perish;
because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
11 Consequently God sends them a strong delusion, that they
will believe a lie.
12 So all who have not believed the truth, but enjoy evil will
be condemned.

13 But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers,
loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning
for salvation through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and
belief in the truth.
14 To this he called you through our gospel, so you might share
in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 So then, brothers, stand firm, and hold on to the traditions
that you were taught, whether by our speech or letter.
16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who
loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through
grace,
17 encourage your hearts and strengthen them in every good work
and word.
