1 Now we ask you, brothers, on behalf of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him,

2 for ye not to be quickly shaken from your mind, nor to be alarmed, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by a letter as by us, as that the day of the Christ has come.

3 Let not any man deceive you in any way, because if not, the defection may come first, and he may be revealed--the man of sin, the son of destruction,

4 who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or an object of worship, so as for him to sit in the temple of God, as God, displaying himself that he is God.

5 Do ye not remember that when I was yet with you I told you these things?

6 And now ye know that which restrains, for him to be revealed in his own time.

7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already working, only he who restrains it until now will develop from the midst.

8 And then the lawless will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the spirit of his mouth, and will neutralize at the appearance of his coming.

9 Whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and marvels of deceit,

10 and in all deception of unrighteousness in those who are perishing, in return for which, they did not accept the love of the truth in order for them to be saved.

11 And because of this God will send them the force of a delusion, for them to believe a lie,

12 so that they might be condemned--all those who did not believe the truth, but who delighted in unrighteousness.

13 But we are indebted to express thanks to God always about you, brothers, beloved by Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation, in sanctification of spirit and belief of truth,

14 for which he called you, through our good-news, for an acquired possession of glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that ye were taught, whether by word or by letter from us.

16 And may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father who loved us and gave eternal encouragement and good hope through grace,

17 encourage your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

1 We beseche you brethren by the commynge of oure lorde Iesu Christ and in that we shall assemble vnto him

2 that ye be not sodely moved from youre mynde and be not troubled nether by sprete nether by wordes nor yet by letter which shuld seme to come from vs as though the daye of Christ were at honde.

3 Let no ma deceave you by eny meanes for the lorde commeth not excepte ther come a departynge fyrst and that that synfnll man be opened ye sonne of perdicion

4 which is an adversarie and is exalted above all that is called god or that is worshipped: so that he shall sitt as God in temple of god and shew him silfe as god.

5 Remember ye not that when I was yet with you I tolde you these thynges?

6 And nowe ye knowe what with holdeth: even that he myght be vttered at his tyme.

7 For the mistery of that iniquitie doeth he all readie worke which onlie loketh vntill it be taken out of ye waye.

8 And then shall that wicked be vttered whom the lorde shall consume with the sprete of hys mouth and shall destroye with the apearaunce of his commynge

9 even him whose commynge is by the workynge of Satan wyth all lyinge power signes and wonders:

10 and in all deceavablenes of vnrightewesnes amonge them that perysshe: because they receaved not the (love) of the truth that they myght have bene saved.

11 And therfore god shall sende them stronge delusion that they shuld beleve lyes:

12 that all they myght be damned which beleved not the trueth but had pleasure in vnrightewesnes.

13 But we are bounde to geve thankes alwaye to god for you brethren beloved of the lorde for because that God hath from the begynnynge chosen you to saluacion thorow sanctifyinge of the sprete and thorowe belevynge the trueth:

14 whervnto he called you byoure gospell to obtayne ye glorye that cometh of oure lord Iesu Christ.

15 Therfore brethren stonde fast and kepe ye ordinaunces which ye have learned: whether it were by oure preachynge or by pistle.

16 Oure lorde Iesu Christ hym silfe and God oure father which hath loved vs and hath geven vs everlastynge consolacion and good hope thorowe grace

17 comforte youre hertes and stablysshe you in all doctrine and good doynge.
