帖撒罗尼迦后书 2
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
不法之人显露
2 弟兄们，论到我们主耶稣基督的来临，以及我们聚集归于他的事，我们请求你们： 2 无论是藉着灵，还是藉着话语，或藉着一封好像是来自我们的书信，说主[a]的日子[b]已经来到了，你们都不要轻易被摇动而失去理性，也不要惊慌； 3 不要让任何人用任何方法把你们欺骗了；因为那日子来临以前[c]，必定先有离道反教之事来到，并且那不法之人[d]，就是那灭亡[e]之子也会被显露出来。 4 他反对一切被称为神的，或受人敬拜的，他又高抬自己在这一切之上，甚至坐在神的圣所里宣称自己是神。
5 我还在你们那里的时候，一直告诉你们这些事，你们不记得吗？ 6 你们也知道，现在什么拦阻了他，好使他在所定的时候[f]被显露出来。 7 其实这不法的奥秘已经在做工，只是要等到那现在拦阻他的不在其中， 8 然后这不法之人要被显露出来。主耶稣要以自己口中的气杀掉[g]他，藉着自己来临的显现除去他。 9 这不法之人的到来，是出于撒旦的作为，对那些正在灭亡的人，使用一切能力、虚假的神迹和奇事， 10 并且使用一切不义的诡计，因为他们不接受那能使他们得救的真理之爱。 11 为此，神就把一种迷惑人的力量送进他们里面，使他们相信虚假之事， 12 好使所有不相信真理而喜悦不义的人，都被定罪。
站立稳当
13 蒙主所爱的弟兄们，我们应该为你们常常感谢神，因为神为了救恩的缘故，就藉着在圣灵里的分别为圣，以及真理的信仰，拣选了你们做为初熟的果子[h]。 14 为此，神也藉着我们的福音召唤了你们，使你们获得我们主耶稣基督的荣耀。 15 弟兄们，由此可见，你们当站立得稳；你们所领受的传统，无论是藉着我们的话语，还是藉着我们的书信，你们都要持守。
16 愿我们的主耶稣基督自己和神我们的父，就是爱我们又在恩典中把永恒的安慰和美好的盼望赐给我们的那一位， 17 安慰你们的心，并且在一切美善的工作和言语上坚固你们。

2 Thessalonians 2
King James Version
2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
2 Thessalonians 2
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
The Man of Lawlessness
2 As to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we beg you, brothers and sisters,[a] 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as though from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is already here. 3 Let no one deceive you in any way; for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the lawless one[b] is revealed, the one destined for destruction.[c] 4 He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, declaring himself to be God. 5 Do you not remember that I told you these things when I was still with you? 6 And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed when his time comes. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but only until the one who now restrains it is removed. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus[d] will destroy[e] with the breath of his mouth, annihilating him by the manifestation of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is apparent in the working of Satan, who uses all power, signs, lying wonders, 10 and every kind of wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion, leading them to believe what is false, 12 so that all who have not believed the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness will be condemned.
Chosen for Salvation
13 But we must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters[f] beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the first fruits[g] for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and through belief in the truth. 14 For this purpose he called you through our proclamation of the good news,[h] so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brothers and sisters,[i] stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by our letter.
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and through grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope, 17 comfort your hearts and strengthen them in every good work and word.
