2 Now de concerning hyper the ho coming parousia of ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos and kai our hēmeis assembling episynagōgē to epi him autos, we ask erōtaō you hymeis, brothers adelphos, ² not mē to be quickly tacheōs shaken saleuō out of apo your ho wits nous or mēde disturbed throeō, either mēte by dia a prophecy pneuma or mēte by dia a spoken word logos or mēte by dia a letter epistolē purporting hōs to come from dia us hēmeis, to the effect hōs that hoti the ho day hēmera of the ho Lord kyrios is already here enistēmi.

³ Let exapataō no mē one tis deceive exapataō you hymeis in kata any mēdeis way tropos; for hoti that day will erchomai not come erchomai unless ean the ho rebellion apostasia comes first prōton and kai the ho man anthrōpos of ho lawlessness anomia is revealed apokalyptō, the ho son hyios of ho destruction apōleia, ⁴ who ho opposes antikeimai and kai exalts hyperairō himself above epi every pas so-called legō god theos or ē object sebasma of worship , so that hōste he autos takes his seat kathizō in eis the ho temple naos of ho God theos, proclaiming apodeiknymi that hoti he himself heautou is eimi God theos.

⁵ Do you not ou remember mnēmoneuō that hoti I told legō you hymeis this houtos while I was eimi still eti with pros you hymeis? ⁶ And kai now nyn you know oida what ho is holding him in check katechō, so that eis he autos may be revealed apokalyptō at en · ho his heautou proper time kairos. ⁷ For gar the ho mystery mystērion of ho lawlessness anomia is already ēdē at work energeō; however monon, the ho one who is now arti restraining katechō will continue to do so until heōs he is taken ginomai away ek mesos. ⁸ And kai then tote the ho lawless one anomos will be revealed apokalyptō, whom hos the ho Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous will destroy anaireō with the ho breath pneuma of ho his autos mouth stoma, and kai bring katargeō to an end with the ho splendor epiphaneia of ho his autos coming parousia. ⁹ The ho coming parousia of the lawless one hos will be eimi according kata to the activity energeia of ho Satan Satanas, with en all pas kinds of false pseudos miracles dynamis, · kai signs sēmeion, and kai wonders teras, ¹⁰ and kai with en every pas kind of wicked adikia deception apatē for those ho who are perishing apollymi, because anti hos they did dechomai not ou accept dechomai the ho love agapē of the ho truth alētheia so as eis to be saved sōzō. ¹¹ · kai For dia this houtos reason God theos will send pempō them autos · ho an active energeia delusion planē leading eis them autos to believe pisteuō the ho lie pseudos, ¹² that hina they all pas may be condemned krinō who ho did not mē believe pisteuō the ho truth alētheia but alla took eudokeō pleasure in ho unrighteousness adikia.

¹³ But de we hēmeis ought opheilō always pantote to thank eucharisteō · ho God theos for peri you hymeis, brothers adelphos loved agapaō by hypo the Lord kyrios, because hoti God theos chose haireō you hymeis · ho as first fruits aparchē for eis salvation sōtēria, by en sanctification hagiasmos of the Spirit pneuma and kai belief pistis in the truth alētheia. ¹⁴ And kai he called kaleō you hymeis to eis this hos salvation through dia · ho our hēmeis gospel euangelion, that eis you might come to share peripoiēsis the glory doxa of ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos.

¹⁵ So ara then oun, brothers adelphos, stand stēkō firm and kai hold krateō to the ho traditions paradosis that hos you were taught didaskō, either eite by dia what we said logos or eite what we hēmeis wrote epistolē.

¹⁶ Now de may · ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos himself autos and kai · ho God theos · ho our hēmeis Father patēr, who ho has loved agapaō us hēmeis and kai given didōmi us eternal aiōnios encouragement paraklēsis and kai good agathos hope elpis by en grace charis, ¹⁷ encourage parakaleō your hymeis · ho hearts kardia and kai establish stērizō you in en every pas good agathos work ergon and kai word logos.

7 “ Do not mē judge krinō others, so hina that you will not mē be judged krinō. ² For gar by en hos the standard krima you judge krinō you will be judged krinō, and kai with en hos the measure metron you use metreō it will be measured metreō to you hymeis. ³ And de why tis do you look blepō at the ho speck karphos · ho in en your sy brother’ s adelphos · ho eye ophthalmos · ho · ho but de pay katanoeō no ou attention to katanoeō the log dokos in en · ho your sos own eye ophthalmos? ⁴ Or ē how pōs dare you say legō to ho your sy brother adelphos, ‘ Let aphiēmi me remove ekballō the ho speck karphos from ek · ho your sy eye ophthalmos,’ and kai look idou, there is a ho log dokos in en · ho your own sy eye ophthalmos? ⁵ You hypocrite hypokritēs! First prōton take ekballō the ho log dokos out ek of ho your own sy eye ophthalmos, and kai then tote you will be able to see diablepō clearly to remove ekballō the ho speck karphos out ek of ho your sy brother’ s adelphos eye ophthalmos. · ho

⁶ “ Do not mē give didōmi what ho is holy hagios to ho dogs kyōn, and mēde do not throw ballō · ho your hymeis pearls margaritēs in front emprosthen of ho pigs choiros, lest mēpote the pigs trample katapateō them autos under en · ho their autos feet pous, and kai the dogs turn strephō and tear rhēgnymi you hymeis to pieces.

⁷ “ Ask aiteō and kai it will be given didōmi to you hymeis, seek zēteō and kai you will find heuriskō, knock krouō and kai it will be opened anoigō for you hymeis. ⁸ For gar everyone pas who ho asks aiteō receives lambanō, and kai everyone who ho seeks zēteō finds heuriskō, and kai for everyone who ho knocks krouō it will be opened anoigō. ⁹ Or ē is there eimi any tis man anthrōpos among ek you hymeis who hos, if his autos son hyios should ask aiteō · ho for bread artos, would give epididōmi him autos a stone lithos? ¹⁰ Or ē · kai if he should ask for aiteō a fish ichthus, would give epididōmi him autos a snake ophis? ¹¹ If ei then oun you hymeis, who are eimi evil ponēros, know oida how to give didōmi good agathos gifts doma to ho your hymeis children teknon, how posos much more mallon will · ho your hymeis Father patēr · ho in en · ho heaven ouranos give didōmi good agathos things to ho those who ask aiteō him autos!

¹² “ So oun whatever hosos ean you would like thelō others anthrōpos to hina do poieō to you hymeis, · ho do poieō also kai to them autos, for gar this houtos is eimi the ho law nomos and kai the ho prophets prophētēs.
