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.
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, awho has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and bgood hope by grace,
