2 Tesalonicenses 2

La venida del Señor y el hombre de pecado
2 Pero con respecto a la venida[a](A) de nuestro Señor Jesucristo y a nuestra reunión con Él(B), les rogamos, hermanos(C), 2 que no sean sacudidos fácilmente en su modo de pensar[b], ni se alarmen, ni por espíritu(D), ni por palabra(E), ni por carta(F) como si fuera de nosotros, en el sentido de que el día del Señor(G) ha llegado(H). 3 Que nadie los engañe en ninguna manera(I), porque no vendrá sin que primero venga la apostasía(J) y sea revelado el hombre de pecado[c](K), el hijo de perdición(L).
4 Este se opone y se exalta sobre todo lo que se llama dios o es objeto de culto(M), de manera que se sienta en el templo de Dios[d], presentándose como si fuera Dios(N). 5 ¿No se acuerdan de que cuando yo estaba todavía con ustedes(O) les decía esto?
6 Ustedes saben lo que lo detiene por ahora(P), para ser revelado a su debido tiempo. 7 Porque el misterio de la iniquidad[e](Q) ya está en acción, solo que aquel(R) que por ahora lo detiene, lo hará hasta que él mismo sea quitado de en medio. 8 Entonces será revelado ese impío[f](S), a quien el Señor matará con el espíritu[g] de Su boca(T), y destruirá con el resplandor de Su venida[h](U).
9 La venida del impío será conforme a la actividad[i] de Satanás(V), con todo poder y señales[j](W) y prodigios mentirosos[k], 10 y con todo engaño de iniquidad para los que se pierden(X), porque no recibieron el amor de la verdad(Y) para ser salvos. 11 Por esto Dios(Z) les enviará[l] un poder engañoso[m](AA), para que crean en la mentira, 12 a fin de que sean juzgados todos los que no creyeron en la verdad(AB) sino que se complacieron en la iniquidad(AC).
Firmes en la doctrina
13 Pero nosotros(AD) siempre tenemos que dar gracias a Dios por ustedes, hermanos amados por el Señor(AE), porque Dios los ha escogido desde el principio[n](AF) para salvación(AG) mediante[o] la santificación(AH) por el[p] Espíritu y la fe en la verdad. 14 Fue para esto que Él los llamó(AI) mediante nuestro evangelio(AJ), para que alcancen la gloria de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. 15 Así que, hermanos, estén firmes(AK) y conserven las doctrinas(AL) que les fueron enseñadas, ya de palabra(AM), ya por carta nuestra(AN).
16 Y que nuestro Señor Jesucristo(AO) mismo, y Dios nuestro Padre(AP), que nos amó(AQ) y nos dio consuelo eterno y buena esperanza por gracia(AR), 17 consuele sus corazones y los afirme(AS) en toda obra y palabra buena.

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.

The Great Apostasy
2 Now, brethren, (A)concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (B)and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 (C)not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of [a]Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come (D)unless the falling away comes first, and (E)the man of [b]sin is revealed, (F)the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and (G)exalts himself (H)above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits [c]as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For (I)the [d]mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only [e]He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, (J)whom the Lord will consume (K)with the breath of His mouth and destroy (L)with the brightness of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is (M)according to the working of Satan, with all power, (N)signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among (O)those who perish, because they did not receive (P)the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And (Q)for this reason God will send them strong delusion, (R)that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but (S)had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Stand Fast
13 But we are [f]bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God (T)from the beginning (U)chose you for salvation (V)through [g]sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, 14 to which He called you by our gospel, for (W)the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, (X)stand fast and hold (Y)the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our [h]epistle.
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, (Z)who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and (AA)good hope by grace, 17 comfort your hearts (AB)and [i]establish you in every good word and work.

The Man of Lawlessness
2 Now concerning (A)the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our (B)being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers,[a] 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or (C)alarmed, either (D)by a spirit or a (E)spoken word, or (F)a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that (G)the day of the Lord has come. 3 (H)Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, (I)unless the rebellion comes first, and (J)the man of lawlessness[b] is revealed, (K)the son of destruction,[c] 4 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, (L)proclaiming himself to be God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. 7 For (M)the mystery of lawlessness (N)is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. 8 And then (O)the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus (P)will kill with (Q)the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by (R)the appearance of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan (S)with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for (T)those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore (U)God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe (V)what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned (W)who did not believe the truth but (X)had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Stand Firm
13 But (Y)we ought always to give thanks to God for you, (Z)brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you (AA)as the firstfruits[d] (AB)to be saved, (AC)through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth. 14 To this he called you through (AD)our gospel, (AE)so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brothers, (AF)stand firm and hold to (AG)the traditions that you were taught by us, either (AH)by our spoken word or by (AI)our letter.
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, (AJ)who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good (AK)hope through grace, 17 comfort your hearts and (AL)establish them in every good work and word.
