2 Thessalonians 2:6-12

English Standard Version

⁶ And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. ⁷ For ^(A)the mystery of lawlessness ^(B)is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. ⁸ And then ^(C)the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus ^(D)will kill with ^(E)the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by ^(F)the appearance of his coming. ⁹ The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan ^(G)with all power and false signs and wonders, ¹⁰ and with all wicked deception for ^(H)those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. ¹¹ Therefore ^(I)God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe ^(J)what is false, ¹² in order that all may be condemned ^(K)who did not believe the truth but ^(L)had pleasure in unrighteousness.
