帖撒罗尼迦后书 2
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
不法的人必要顯露
2 弟兄們，關於我們主耶穌基督的再來，和我們到他那裡聚集的事，我們求你們： 2 無論有靈、有話、有冒我們的名的書信，說主的日子現在到了，你們都不要輕易動心，也不要驚慌。 3 不要讓人用任何方法迷惑了你們，因為主的日子來到以前，必定有背道的事，並且那不法的人，就是那沉淪之子，必定顯露出來。 4 他抵擋 神，抬舉自己，高過一切稱為神或受人敬拜的，甚至坐在 神的殿中，自稱為 神。 5 我還在你們那裡的時候，曾經把這些事告訴你們，你們不記得嗎？ 6 現在你們也知道，那箝制他，使他到了時候才可以顯露出來的是甚麼。 7 因為那不法的潛力已經發動，只是現在有一個箝制他的在那裡，直等到那箝制解除了， 8 那時，這不法的人必要顯露出來。主耶穌要用自己口中的氣除掉他，以自己再來所顯現的光輝消滅他。 9 這不法的人來到，是照著撒但的行動，行各樣的異能奇蹟和荒誕的事， 10 並且在那些沉淪的人身上，行各樣不義的欺詐，因為他們不領受愛真理的心，使他們得救。 11 因此， 神就使錯謬的思想運行在他們當中，讓他們相信虛謊， 12 叫所有不信真理倒喜愛不義的人，都被定罪。
站立得穩持守信仰
13 主所愛的弟兄們，我們應該常常為你們感謝 神，因為他從起初就揀選了你們，藉著聖靈成聖的工作，和你們對真道的信心，使你們可以得救。 14 因此， 神藉著我們所傳的福音呼召你們，使你們得著我們主耶穌基督的榮耀。 15 所以弟兄們，你們要站立得穩；你們所領受的教訓，無論是我們口傳的，或是信上寫的，都要持守。 16 願我們的主耶穌基督自己，和那愛我們、開恩把永遠的安慰和美好的盼望賜給我們的父 神， 17 安慰你們的心，並且在一切善行善言上，堅定你們。
2 Thessalonians 2
New Living Translation
Events prior to the Lord’s Second Coming
2 Now, dear brothers and sisters,[a] let us clarify some things about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and how we will be gathered to meet him. 2 Don’t be so easily shaken or alarmed by those who say that the day of the Lord has already begun. Don’t believe them, even if they claim to have had a spiritual vision, a revelation, or a letter supposedly from us. 3 Don’t be fooled by what they say. For that day will not come until there is a great rebellion against God and the man of lawlessness[b] is revealed—the one who brings destruction.[c] 4 He will exalt himself and defy everything that people call god and every object of worship. He will even sit in the temple of God, claiming that he himself is God.
5 Don’t you remember that I told you about all this when I was with you? 6 And you know what is holding him back, for he can be revealed only when his time comes. 7 For this lawlessness is already at work secretly, and it will remain secret until the one who is holding it back steps out of the way. 8 Then the man of lawlessness will be revealed, but the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by the splendor of his coming.
9 This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles. 10 He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them. 11 So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies. 12 Then they will be condemned for enjoying evil rather than believing the truth.
Believers Should Stand Firm
13 As for us, we can’t help but thank God for you, dear brothers and sisters loved by the Lord. We are always thankful that God chose you to be among the first[d] to experience salvation—a salvation that came through the Spirit who makes you holy and through your belief in the truth. 14 He called you to salvation when we told you the Good News; now you can share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 With all these things in mind, dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and keep a strong grip on the teaching we passed on to you both in person and by letter.
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, 17 comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say.
2 Thessalonians 2
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
The Man of Lawlessness
2 Now concerning the coming(A) of our Lord(B) Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him: We ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to be easily upset or troubled, either by a prophecy[a](C) or by a message or by a letter supposedly from us, alleging that the day of the Lord[b](D) has come.(E) 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way. For that day will not come unless the apostasy[c] comes first and the man of lawlessness[d] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god(F) or object of worship,(G) so that he sits[e] in God’s temple, proclaiming that he himself is God.
5 Don’t you remember that when I was still with you I used to tell you about this? 6 And you know what currently restrains him, so that he will be revealed in his time.(H) 7 For the mystery of lawlessness(I) is already at work, but the one now restraining will do so until he is out of the way, 8 and then the lawless one will be revealed. The Lord Jesus will destroy him with the breath of his mouth(J) and will bring him to nothing at the appearance of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is based on Satan’s working, with every kind of miracle, both signs and wonders serving the lie,(K) 10 and with every wicked deception among those who are perishing. They perish because they did not accept the love of the truth and so be saved.(L) 11 For this reason God sends them a strong delusion so that they will believe the lie, 12 so that all will be condemned(M) – those who did not believe(N) the truth but delighted in unrighteousness.
Stand Firm
13 But we ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because from the beginning[f] God has chosen(O) you for salvation through sanctification(P) by the Spirit and through belief in the truth. 14 He called you to this through our gospel, so that you might obtain the glory(Q) of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm(R) and hold to the traditions you were taught,(S) whether by what we said or what we wrote.
16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved(T) us and given us eternal encouragement and good hope by grace, 17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good work and word.
