主未降临必有不法者显露

弟兄们,论到我们主耶稣基督降临和我们到他那里聚集, 我劝你们:无论有灵,有言语,有冒我名的书信,说主的日子现在[a]到了,不要轻易动心,也不要惊慌。 人不拘用什么法子,你们总不要被他诱惑;因为那日子以前,必有离道反教的事,并有那大罪人,就是沉沦之子,显露出来。 他是抵挡主,高抬自己超过一切称为神的和一切受人敬拜的,甚至坐在神的殿里自称是神。 我还在你们那里的时候,曾把这些事告诉你们,你们不记得吗? 现在你们也知道那拦阻他的是什么,是叫他到了的时候才可以显露。 因为那不法的隐意已经发动;只是现在有一个拦阻的,等到那拦阻的被除去。 那时这不法的人必显露出来,主耶稣要用口中的气灭绝他,用降临的荣光废掉他。 这不法的人来,是照撒旦的运动,行各样的异能、神迹和一切虚假的奇事, 10 并且在那沉沦的人身上行各样出于不义的诡诈,因他们不领受爱真理的心使他们得救。 11 故此,神就给他们一个生发错误的心,叫他们信从虚谎, 12 使一切不信真理倒喜爱不义的人都被定罪。

门徒当坚守保罗之教训

13 主所爱的弟兄们哪,我们本该常为你们感谢神,因为他从起初拣选了你们,叫你们因信真道,又被圣灵感动成为圣洁,能以得救。 14 神借我们所传的福音召你们到这地步,好得着我们主耶稣基督的荣光。 15 所以弟兄们,你们要站立得稳,凡所领受的教训,不拘是我们口传的,是信上写的,都要坚守。

16 但愿我们主耶稣基督和那爱我们、开恩将永远的安慰并美好的盼望赐给我们的父神, 17 安慰你们的心,并且在一切善行善言上坚固你们!

The Man of Lawlessness

Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our assembling to meet him, we beg you, brethren, not to be quickly shaken in mind or excited, either by spirit or by word, or by letter purporting to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.[a] Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness[b][c] is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you this? And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.[d] And then the lawless one will be revealed, and the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by his appearing and his coming. The coming of the lawless one by the activity of Satan will be with all power and with pretended signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are to perish, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God sends upon them a strong delusion, to make them believe what is false, 12 so that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Chosen for Salvation

13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning[e] to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit[f] and belief in the truth. 14 To this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter.

16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, 17 comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.
