1 Now we urge you{}, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together to him;

2 to the end that you{} are not quickly shaken from your{} mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at hand;

3 let no man beguile you{} in any wise: for [it will not be,] except the falling away comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition,

4 he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God.
