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.
