2 Thessalonians 2:1-4

Holman Christian Standard Bible

The Man of Lawlessness

2 Now concerning the coming^(A) of our Lord^(B) Jesus Christ and our being gathered to Him: We ask you, brothers, ² not to be easily upset in mind or troubled, either by a spirit^(C) or by a message or by a letter as if from us, alleging that the Day of the Lord^[a](D) has come.^{(E) 3} Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way. For that day will not come unless the apostasy^[b] comes first and the man of lawlessness^[c] is revealed, the son of destruction. ⁴ He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god^(F) or object of worship,^(G) so that he sits^[d] in God’s sanctuary,^[e] publicizing that he himself is God.
