and to you, who are in trouble, rest with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven,

with his mighty angels, in flaming fire, taking vengeance on those who know not God, and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

who shall be punished with everlasting destruction, by the presence of the Lord and by his glorious power:

the son of perdition, who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or the object of worship; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

And then the wicked one shall be detected, whom the Lord will destroy by the breath of his mouth, and abolish by the brightness of his coming:

who comes, through the efficacy of Satan, with all kind of lying power, and signs,

that they may all be condemned, who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in iniquity.

And may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation, and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts,

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and preserve you from the evil one.

Now we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother who walketh disorderly, and not according to the instruction which he received from us.
