The Great Apostasy

1 Now, brethren, aconcerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ band our gathering together to Him, we ask you,  
2 anot to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of1 Christ had come.  
3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come aunless the falling away comes first, and bthe man of sin is revealed, cthe son of perdition,  
4 who opposes and aexalts himself babove all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits1 as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.  
5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?
6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.
7 For athe mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only2 He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.  
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, awhom the Lord will consume bwith the breath of His mouth and destroy cwith the brightness of His coming.  
9 The coming of the lawless one is aaccording to the working of Satan, with all power, bsigns, and lying wonders,  
10 and with all unrighteous deception among athose who perish, because they did not receive bthe love of the truth, that they might be saved.  
11 And afor this reason God will send them strong delusion, bthat they should believe the lie,  
12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but ahad pleasure in unrighteousness.  

Stand Fast

13 But we are1 bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God afrom the beginning bchose you for salvation cthrough sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,  
14 to which He called you by our gospel, for athe obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.  
15 Therefore, brethren, astand fast and hold bthe traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our1 epistle.
