2 Thessalonians 2
Darby Translation
2 Now we beg you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him,
2 that ye be not soon shaken in mind, nor troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as [if it were] by us, as that the day of the Lord is present.
3 Let not any one deceive you in any manner, because [it will not be] unless the apostasy have first come, and the man of sin have been revealed, the son of perdition;
4 who opposes and exalts himself on high against all called God, or object of veneration; so that he himself sits down in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Do ye not remember that, being yet with you, I said these things to you?
6 And now ye know that which restrains, that he should be revealed in his own time.
7 For the mystery of lawlessness already works; only [there is] he who restrains now until he be gone,
8 and then the lawless one shall be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus shall consume with the breath of his mouth, and shall annul by the appearing of his coming;
9 whose coming is according to the working of Satan in all power and signs and wonders of falsehood,
10 and in all deceit of unrighteousness to them that perish, because they have not received the love of the truth that they might be saved.
11 And for this reason God sends to them a working of error, that they should believe what is false,
12 that all might be judged who have not believed the truth, but have found pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of [the] Lord, that God has chosen you from [the] beginning to salvation in sanctification of [the] Spirit and belief of [the] truth:
14 whereto he has called you by our glad tidings, to [the] obtaining of [the] glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 So then, brethren, stand firm, and hold fast the instructions which ye have been taught, whether by word or by our letter.
16 But our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us, and given [us] eternal consolation and good hope by grace,
17 encourage your hearts, and establish you in every good work and word.

Manifestación y juicio del malvado
2 Ahora bien, hermanos, en cuanto a la venida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo y a nuestra reunión con él, os pedimos que 2 no perdáis la cabeza ni os alarméis por ciertas profecías,[a] ni por mensajes orales o escritos supuestamente nuestros, que digan: «¡Ya llegó el día del Señor!» 3 No os dejéis engañar de ninguna manera, porque primero tiene que llegar la rebelión contra Dios[b] y manifestarse el hombre de maldad,[c] el destructor por naturaleza.[d] 4 Este se opone y se levanta contra todo lo que lleva el nombre de Dios o es objeto de adoración, hasta el punto de adueñarse del templo de Dios y pretender ser Dios.
5 ¿No recordáis que ya os hablaba de esto cuando estaba con vosotros? 6 Bien sabéis que hay algo que detiene a este hombre, a fin de que él se manifieste a su debido tiempo. 7 Es cierto que el misterio de la maldad ya está ejerciendo su poder; pero falta que sea quitado de en medio el que ahora lo detiene. 8 Entonces se manifestará aquel malvado, a quien el Señor Jesús derrocará con el soplo de su boca y destruirá con el esplendor de su venida. 9 El malvado vendrá, por obra de Satanás, con toda clase de milagros, señales y prodigios falsos. 10 Con toda perversidad engañará a los que se pierden por haberse negado a amar la verdad y así ser salvos. 11 Por eso Dios permite que, por el poder del engaño, crean en la mentira. 12 Así serán condenados todos los que no creyeron en la verdad, sino que se deleitaron en el mal.
Exhortación a la perseverancia
13 Nosotros, en cambio, siempre debemos dar gracias a Dios por vosotros, hermanos amados por el Señor, porque desde el principio Dios os escogió[e] para ser salvos, mediante la obra santificadora del Espíritu y la fe que tenéis en la verdad. 14 Para esto Dios os llamó por nuestro evangelio, a fin de que tengáis parte en la gloria de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. 15 Así que, hermanos, seguid firmes y manteneos fieles a las enseñanzas[f] que, oralmente o por carta, os hemos transmitido.
16 Que nuestro Señor Jesucristo mismo y Dios nuestro Padre, que nos amó y por su gracia nos dio consuelo eterno y una buena esperanza, 17 os anime y os fortalezca el corazón, para que tanto en palabra como en obra hagáis todo lo que sea bueno.

The Man of Lawlessness
2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ(A) and our being gathered to him,(B) we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us—whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter(C)—asserting that the day of the Lord(D) has already come.(E) 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you(F) in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion(G) occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed,(H) the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God(I) or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.(J)
5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things?(K) 6 And now you know what is holding him back,(L) so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back(M) will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed,(N) whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth(O) and destroy by the splendor of his coming.(P) 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan(Q) works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders(R) that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing.(S) They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.(T) 11 For this reason God sends them(U) a powerful delusion(V) so that they will believe the lie(W) 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.(X)
Stand Firm
13 But we ought always to thank God for you,(Y) brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits[b](Z) to be saved(AA) through the sanctifying work of the Spirit(AB) and through belief in the truth. 14 He called you(AC) to this through our gospel,(AD) that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm(AE) and hold fast to the teachings[c] we passed on to you,(AF) whether by word of mouth or by letter.
16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father,(AG) who loved us(AH) and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, 17 encourage(AI) your hearts and strengthen(AJ) you in every good deed and word.
