2 Thessalonians 2:7-12

^{Tools
7} For the mystery of lawlessness^(A) is already at work, but the one now restraining will do so until he is out of the way, ^{Tools
8} and then the lawless one will be revealed. The Lord Jesus will destroy him with the breath of His mouth^(B) and will bring him to nothing with the brightness of His coming. ^{Tools
9} The coming of the lawless one is based on Satan’s working, with all kinds of false miracles, signs, and wonders,^(C) ^{Tools
10} and with every unrighteous deception among those who are perishing. They perish because they did not accept the love of the truth in order to be saved.^(D) ^{Tools
11} For this reason God sends them a strong delusion so that they will believe what is false, ^{Tools
12} so that all will be condemned^(E)—those who did not believe^(F) the truth but enjoyed unrighteousness.
