You must not let anyone deceive you at all. For that is not until the rebellion takes place and the embodiment of disobedience makes his appearance??e who is doomed to destruction,

We always have to thank God for you, brothers whom the Lord so loves, because God chose you from the beginning to be saved through consecration by the Spirit and through faith in the truth,

As to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, brothers, and our assembling to meet him, we beg you

As a result, we ourselves speak of you with pride in the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith in the face of all the persecutions and troubles you are having to endure.

This is a proof of God's justice in judging, and it is to prove you worthy of the Kingdom of God, for the sake of which you are suffering,

and to give rest to you who are suffering and to us, when our Lord Jesus appears from heaven, with his mighty angels

We have faith in you through the Lord that you are doing and will keep doing what we direct you to do.

We charge you, brothers, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who lives in idleness, instead of following the teaching you received from us.

The other's appearance, by the contrivance of Satan, will be full of power and pretended signs and wonders,

when on that Day he comes to be honored in his people, and wondered at in all who believe in him??ecause our testimony has been confirmed in you.

so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you and you in him, by the blessing of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

May the Lord guide your hearts into a sense of God's love and into a steadfastness like Christ's.

in a blaze of fire, and takes vengeance on the godless who will not listen to the good news of our Lord Jesus.

So now you know what it is that is holding him back from making his appearance before the appointed time arrives.

For you know yourselves what you must do to follow my example, for I was not idle when I was with you;

I did not eat anybody's bread without paying for it, but with toil and labor I worked night and day, in order not to be a burden to any of you.

so that all who have refused to believe the truth but have preferred disobedience may be condemned.

Not that I had not a right to my support, but to give you in my own conduct an example to imitate.

For we hear that some of you are living in idleness, mere busybodies, not doing any work.

not to let your minds be too easily unsettled or wrought up, by any message of the Spirit or any utterance or letter purporting to be from me, to the effect that the Day of the Lord has already come.

and called you to it through our preaching of the good news, so that you may share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now with the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ we charge and exhort such people to keep quiet and do their work and earn their own living.

If anyone refuses to obey what we have said in this letter, mark the man and do not have anything to do with him, to make him feel ashamed.

This greeting is in my own hand, Paul's; it is the mark in every letter of mine. This is the way I write.

Do not look upon him as an enemy but warn him as a brother.

And may the Lord of peace himself always give you peace in every way. The Lord be with you all.

encourage you and strengthen you to do and say everything that is right.

But you, brothers, must not get tired of doing right.

The blessing of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

and that we may be saved from unjust and wicked men; for not everybody has faith.

and full of wicked deception for men who are going to destruction, because they refused to love the truth and be saved.

They will be punished with eternal ruin and exclusion from the presence of the Lord and his glorious might,

Then the embodiment of disobedience will make his appearance, and the Lord Jesus will destroy him with the breath of his mouth and annihilate him by his appearance and arrival.

For disobedience is already secretly at work, but only until he who is now holding it in check is gotten out of the way.

But the Lord is to be relied on, and he will give you strength and protect you from the evil one.

So stand firm, brothers, and hold fast to the instructions you have received from us, whether by letter or by word of mouth.

the adversary of every being that is called a god or an object of worship, and so overbearing toward them as to enter God's sanctuary and take his seat there, proclaiming himself to be God??5 do you not remember that when I was with you, I used to tell you this?

When I was with you, I gave you this rule: "If anyone refuses to work, give him nothing to eat!"

We always have to thank God for you, brothers, as it is right that we should, because your faith is growing so wonderfully and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing.

God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and kindly given us unfailing encouragement and a well-founded hope,

Now, brothers, pray for us, that the Lord's message may spread rapidly and gloriously as it did among you,

To this end we always pray for you too, asking our God to find you worthy of the call he has given you, and by his power to fulfil every desire you may have for goodness, and every effort of your faith,

This is why God sends upon them a misleading influence, to make them believe what is false,

since God considers it only just to repay with suffering those who are making you suffer
