Then that lawless one (A)will be revealed, whom the Lord will eliminate (B)with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the (C)appearance of His [a]coming; that is, the one whose [b]coming is in accord with the activity of (D)Satan, with all power and false [c](E)signs and wonders, 10 and with [d]all the deception of wickedness for (F)those who perish, because they did not accept the love of (G)the truth so as to be saved. 11 For this reason (H)God [e]will send upon them [f]a (I)deluding influence so that they will believe [g]what is false, 12 in order that they all may be [h]judged who (J)did not believe the truth, but [i](K)took pleasure in wickedness.

And then the lawless one will be revealed,(A) whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth(B) and destroy by the splendor of his coming.(C) The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan(D) works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders(E) that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing.(F) They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.(G) 11 For this reason God sends them(H) a powerful delusion(I) so that they will believe the lie(J) 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.(K)

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:

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.

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
