2 Thessalonians 2
American Standard Version

2 Now we beseech you, brethren, [a]touching the [b]coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him; 2 to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at hand; 3 let no man beguile you in any wise: for it will not be, except the falling away come first, and the man of [c]sin be revealed, the son of perdition, 4 he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or [d]that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the [e]temple of God, setting himself forth as God. 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know that which restraineth, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: [f]only there is one that restraineth now, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord [g]Jesus shall [h]slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his [i]coming; 9 even he, whose [j]coming is according to the working of Satan with all [k]power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that [l]perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you [m]from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and [n]belief of the truth: 14 whereunto he called you through our [o]gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 So then, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye were taught, whether by word, or by epistle of ours.

16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, 17 comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.

帖撒羅尼迦後書 2
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)

主未降臨必有不法者顯露

2 弟兄們，論到我們主耶穌基督降臨和我們到他那裡聚集， 2 我勸你們：無論有靈，有言語，有冒我名的書信，說主的日子現在[a]到了，不要輕易動心，也不要驚慌。 3 人不拘用什麼法子，你們總不要被他誘惑；因為那日子以前，必有離道反教的事，並有那大罪人，就是沉淪之子，顯露出來。 4 他是抵擋主，高抬自己超過一切稱為神的和一切受人敬拜的，甚至坐在神的殿裡自稱是神。 5 我還在你們那裡的時候，曾把這些事告訴你們，你們不記得嗎？ 6 現在你們也知道那攔阻他的是什麼，是叫他到了的時候才可以顯露。 7 因為那不法的隱意已經發動；只是現在有一個攔阻的，等到那攔阻的被除去。 8 那時這不法的人必顯露出來，主耶穌要用口中的氣滅絕他，用降臨的榮光廢掉他。 9 這不法的人來，是照撒旦的運動，行各樣的異能、神蹟和一切虛假的奇事， 10 並且在那沉淪的人身上行各樣出於不義的詭詐，因他們不領受愛真理的心使他們得救。 11 故此，神就給他們一個生發錯誤的心，叫他們信從虛謊， 12 使一切不信真理倒喜愛不義的人都被定罪。

門徒當堅守保羅之教訓

13 主所愛的弟兄們哪，我們本該常為你們感謝神，因為他從起初揀選了你們，叫你們因信真道，又被聖靈感動成為聖潔，能以得救。 14 神藉我們所傳的福音召你們到這地步，好得著我們主耶穌基督的榮光。 15 所以弟兄們，你們要站立得穩，凡所領受的教訓，不拘是我們口傳的，是信上寫的，都要堅守。

16 但願我們主耶穌基督和那愛我們、開恩將永遠的安慰並美好的盼望賜給我們的父神， 17 安慰你們的心，並且在一切善行善言上堅固你們！

2 Thessalonians 2
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

The Man of Lawlessness

2 As to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we beg you, brothers and sisters,(A) 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as though from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord is already here.(B) 3 Let no one deceive you in any way, for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the lawless one[a] is revealed, the one destined for destruction.[b](C) 4 He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, declaring himself to be God.(D) 5 Do you not remember that I told you these things when I was still with you? 6 And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed when his time comes. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but only until the one who now restrains it is removed.(E) 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus[c] will destroy[d] with the breath of his mouth, annihilating him by the manifestation of his coming.(F) 9 The coming of the lawless one is apparent in the working of Satan, who uses all power, signs, lying wonders,(G) 10 and every kind of wicked deception for those who are perishing because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.(H) 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion, leading them to believe what is false,(I) 12 so that all who have not believed the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness will be condemned.(J)

Chosen for Salvation

13 But we must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the first fruits[e] for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and through belief in the truth.(K) 14 For this purpose he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.(L) 15 So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by our letter.(M)

16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and through grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope, 17 comfort your hearts and strengthen them in every good work and word.(N)
