when he shall have come to be glorified in his saints, and wondered at in all that have believed, (for our testimony to you has been believed,) in that day.

Let not any one deceive you in any manner, because it will not be unless the apostasy have first come, and the man of sin have been revealed, the son of perdition;

and in all deceit of unrighteousness to them that perish, because they have not received the love of the truth that they might be saved.

that all might be judged who have not believed the truth, but have found pleasure in unrighteousness.

So then, brethren, stand firm, and hold fast the instructions which ye have been taught, whether by word or by our letter.

For ye know yourselves how ye ought to imitate us, because we have not walked disorderly among you;

nor have we eaten bread from any one without cost; but in toil and hardship working night and day not to be chargeable to any one of you:

not that we have not the right, but that we might give ourselves as an example to you, in order to your imitating us.
