帖撒罗尼迦后书 2
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
主未降临必有不法者显露
2 弟兄们,论到我们主耶稣基督降临和我们到他那里聚集, 2 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。 3 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。 4 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。 5 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? 6 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。 7 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。 8 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。 9 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 Message
The Anarchist
2 1-3 Now, friends, read these next words carefully. Slow down and don’t go jumping to conclusions regarding the day when our Master, Jesus Christ, will come back and we assemble to welcome him. Don’t let anyone shake you up or get you excited over some breathless report or rumored letter from me that the day of the Master’s arrival has come and gone. Don’t fall for any line like that.
3-5 Before that day comes, a couple of things have to happen. First, the Apostasy. Second, the debut of the Anarchist, a partner in crime with Satan. He’ll defy and then take over every so-called god or altar. Having cleared away the opposition, he’ll then set himself up in God’s Temple as “God Almighty.” Don’t you remember me going over all this in detail when I was with you? Are your memories that short?
6-8 You’ll also remember that I told you the Anarchist is being held back until just the right time. That doesn’t mean that the spirit of anarchy is not now at work. It is, secretly and underground. But the time will come when the Anarchist will no longer be held back, but will be let loose. But don’t worry. The Master Jesus will be right on his heels and blow him away. The Master appears and—puff!—the Anarchist is out of there.
9-12 The Anarchist’s coming is all Satan’s work. All his power and signs and miracles are fake, evil sleight of hand that plays to the gallery of those who hate the truth that could save them. And since they’re so obsessed with evil, God rubs their noses in it—gives them what they want. Since they refuse to trust truth, they’re banished to their chosen world of lies and illusions.
13-14 Meanwhile, we’ve got our hands full continually thanking God for you, our good friends—so loved by God! God picked you out as his from the very start. Think of it: included in God’s original plan of salvation by the bond of faith in the living truth. This is the life of the Spirit he invited you to through the Message we delivered, in which you get in on the glory of our Master, Jesus Christ.
15-17 So, friends, take a firm stand, feet on the ground and head high. Keep a tight grip on what you were taught, whether in personal conversation or by our letter. May Jesus himself and God our Father, who reached out in love and surprised you with gifts of unending help and confidence, put a fresh heart in you, invigorate your work, enliven your speech.
2 Thessalonians 2
New International Version
The Man of Lawlessness
2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ(A) and our being gathered to him,(B) we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter(C)—asserting that the day of the Lord(D) has already come.(E) 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you(F) in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion(G) occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed,(H) the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God(I) or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.(J)
5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things?(K) 6 And now you know what is holding him back,(L) so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back(M) will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed,(N) whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth(O) and destroy by the splendor of his coming.(P) 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan(Q) works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders(R) that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing.(S) They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.(T) 11 For this reason God sends them(U) a powerful delusion(V) so that they will believe the lie(W) 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.(X)
Stand Firm
13 But we ought always to thank God for you,(Y) brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits[b](Z) to be saved(AA) through the sanctifying work of the Spirit(AB) and through belief in the truth. 14 He called you(AC) to this through our gospel,(AD) that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm(AE) and hold fast to the teachings[c] we passed on to you,(AF) whether by word of mouth or by letter.
16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father,(AG) who loved us(AH) and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, 17 encourage(AI) your hearts and strengthen(AJ) you in every good deed and word.
