2 Thessalonians 2:5-12

New American Standard Bible

⁵ Do you not remember that ^(A)while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? ⁶ And you know ^(B)what restrains him now, so that he will be revealed in his time. ⁷ For ^(C)the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only ^[a](D)He who now restrains will do so until ^[b]He is ^[c]removed. ⁸ Then that lawless one ^(E)will be revealed, whom the Lord will eliminate ^(F)with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the ^(G)appearance of His ^[d]coming; ⁹ that is, the one whose ^[e]coming is in accord with the activity of ^(H)Satan, with all power and false ^[f](I)signs and wonders, ¹⁰ and with ^[g]all the deception of wickedness for ^(J)those who perish, because they did not accept the love of ^(K)the truth so as to be saved. ¹¹ For this reason ^(L)God ^[h]will send upon them ^[i]a ^(M)deluding influence so that they will believe ^[j]what is false, ¹² in order that they all may be ^[k]judged who ^(N)did not believe the truth, but ^[l](O)took pleasure in wickedness.
