2 Thessalonians 2:8-13

English Standard Version

⁸ And then ^(A)the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus ^(B)will kill with ^(C)the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by ^(D)the appearance of his coming. ⁹ The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan ^(E)with all power and false signs and wonders, ¹⁰ and with all wicked deception for ^(F)those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. ¹¹ Therefore ^(G)God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe ^(H)what is false, ¹² in order that all may be condemned ^(I)who did not believe the truth but ^(J)had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Stand Firm

¹³ But ^(K)we ought always to give thanks to God for you, ^(L)brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you ^(M)as the firstfruits^{[a] (N)}to be saved, ^(O)through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.
