So that we ourselves take pride in you in the churches of God for your untroubled mind and your faith in all the troubles and sorrows which you are going through;

Who puts himself against all authority, lifting himself up over all which is named God or is given worship; so that he takes his seat in the Temple of God, putting himself forward as God.

For the secret of evil is even now at work: but there is one who is keeping back the evil till he is taken out of the way.

And we did not take food from any man for nothing, but were working hard night and day not to be a trouble to any of you:

And if any man does not give attention to what we have said in this letter, take note of that man, and keep away from him, so that he may be shamed.

Have no feeling of hate for him, but take him in hand seriously as a brother.
