So that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ.

Now we ask you, brothers, on behalf of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him,

who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or an object of worship, so as for him to sit in the temple of God, as God, displaying himself that he is God.

And now ye know that which restrains, for him to be revealed in his own time.

For even when we were with you we commanded you this, that if any man will not work, neither let him eat.

And if any man does not obey our word by this letter, note that man, and do not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.

And yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
