2 Thessalonians 2
Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Now Don’t Be Alarmed: The Day of The Lord Has Not Yet Come

2 Now we ask you, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering-together to Him, 2 that you not be quickly shaken from your understanding nor alarmed— neither by a spirit[a], nor by a word, nor by a letter as-if through us, how that the day of the Lord is present[b]. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way, because it will not be present unless the apostasy[c] comes first and the man of lawlessness is revealed[d]— the son of [e] destruction, 4 the one opposing and exalting himself over[f] everything being called god or an object-of-worship[g], so that he sits-down[h] in the temple[i] of God displaying[j] himself that he is god. 5 Do you not remember that while still being with you I was telling you these things? 6 And you know the thing restraining[k] now, so that he might be revealed in his own time.

For Lawlessness Is Being Restrained Right Now, But The Lawless One Will Come Later

7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at-work[l], only there is the one restraining right-now until he comes[m] out of the midst[n]. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of His mouth and do-away-with[o] by the appearance of His coming[p]— 9 whose coming is in accordance with the working of Satan, with all power and signs and wonders of [q] falsehood, 10 and with every deception of [r] unrighteousness for the ones perishing because they did not receive the love of the truth so that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason, God sends them a working of [s] error[t] so that they will believe the falsehood[u], 12 in order that all the ones not having believed in the truth but having taken-pleasure[v] in unrighteousness may be condemned.

But God Chose You To Be The Firstfruits of Salvation. Stand Firm And Hold On To The Truth

13 But[w] we ought to be giving-thanks to God always for you, brothers having been loved by the Lord, because God chose you to be the firstfruit[x] for salvation in[y] the holiness of [z] the Spirit and faith[aa] in the truth— 14 to which also He called you through our good-news, for the obtaining[ab] of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brothers, be standing-firm, and be holding-on-to the traditions which you were taught— whether by word [of mouth] or by our letter. 16 And may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, the One having loved us and having given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, 17 comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.

The Wicked One

2 (A)Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to be with him: I beg you, my friends, 2 not to be so easily confused in your thinking or upset by the claim that the Day of the Lord has come. Perhaps it is thought that we said this while prophesying or preaching, or that we wrote it in a letter. 3 Do not let anyone deceive you in any way. For the Day will not come until the final Rebellion takes place and the Wicked One appears, who is destined to hell. 4 (B)He will oppose every so-called god or object of worship and will put himself above them all. He will even go in and sit down in God's Temple and claim to be God.

5 Don't you remember? I told you all this while I was with you. 6 Yet there is something that keeps this from happening now, and you know what it is. At the proper time, then, the Wicked One will appear. 7 The Mysterious Wickedness is already at work, but what is going to happen will not happen until the one who holds it back is taken out of the way. 8 (C)Then the Wicked One will be revealed, but when the Lord Jesus comes, he will kill him with the breath from his mouth and destroy him with his dazzling presence. 9 (D)The Wicked One will come with the power of Satan and perform all kinds of false miracles and wonders, 10 and use every kind of wicked deceit on those who will perish. They will perish because they did not welcome and love the truth so as to be saved. 11 And so God sends the power of error to work in them so that they believe what is false. 12 The result is that all who have not believed the truth, but have taken pleasure in sin, will be condemned.

You Are Chosen for Salvation

13 We must thank God at all times for you, friends, you whom the Lord loves. For God chose you as the first[a] to be saved by the Spirit's power to make you his holy people and by your faith in the truth. 14 God called you to this through the Good News we preached to you; he called you to possess your share of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, our friends, stand firm and hold on to those truths which we taught you, both in our preaching and in our letter.

16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and in his grace gave us unfailing courage and a firm hope, 17 encourage you and strengthen you to always do and say what is good.

Manifestación del hombre de pecado

2 Pero con respecto a la venida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, y nuestra reunión con él,(A) os rogamos, hermanos, 2 que no os dejéis mover fácilmente de vuestro modo de pensar, ni os conturbéis, ni por espíritu, ni por palabra, ni por carta como si fuera nuestra, en el sentido de que el día del Señor está cerca. 3 Nadie os engañe en ninguna manera; porque no vendrá sin que antes venga la apostasía, y se manifieste el hombre de pecado, el hijo de perdición, 4 el cual se opone y se levanta contra todo lo que se llama Dios o es objeto de culto;(B) tanto que se sienta en el templo de Dios como Dios, haciéndose pasar por Dios. 5 ¿No os acordáis que cuando yo estaba todavía con vosotros, os decía esto? 6 Y ahora vosotros sabéis lo que lo detiene, a fin de que a su debido tiempo se manifieste. 7 Porque ya está en acción el misterio de la iniquidad; solo que hay quien al presente lo detiene, hasta que él a su vez sea quitado de en medio. 8 Y entonces se manifestará aquel inicuo, a quien el Señor matará con el espíritu de su boca,(C) y destruirá con el resplandor de su venida; 9 inicuo cuyo advenimiento es por obra de Satanás, con gran poder y señales y prodigios mentirosos,(D) 10 y con todo engaño de iniquidad para los que se pierden, por cuanto no recibieron el amor de la verdad para ser salvos. 11 Por esto Dios les envía un poder engañoso, para que crean la mentira, 12 a fin de que sean condenados todos los que no creyeron a la verdad, sino que se complacieron en la injusticia.

Escogidos para salvación

13 Pero nosotros debemos dar siempre gracias a Dios respecto a vosotros, hermanos amados por el Señor, de que Dios os haya escogido desde el principio para salvación, mediante la santificación por el Espíritu y la fe en la verdad, 14 a lo cual os llamó mediante nuestro evangelio, para alcanzar la gloria de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. 15 Así que, hermanos, estad firmes, y retened la doctrina que habéis aprendido, sea por palabra, o por carta nuestra.

16 Y el mismo Jesucristo Señor nuestro, y Dios nuestro Padre, el cual nos amó y nos dio consolación eterna y buena esperanza por gracia, 17 conforte vuestros corazones, y os confirme en toda buena palabra y obra.
