2 Thessalonians 2:7-12
New King James Version
7 For (A)the [a]mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only [b]He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, (B)whom the Lord will consume (C)with the breath of His mouth and destroy (D)with the brightness of His coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is (E)according to the working of Satan, with all power, (F)signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among (G)those who perish, because they did not receive (H)the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And (I)for this reason God will send them strong delusion, (J)that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but (K)had pleasure in unrighteousness.
