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

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.

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,

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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

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

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,

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

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

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

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.

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

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