who will pay the penalty [of] eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his strength,

Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, for [that day will not come] unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

And you know that which restrains [him] now, so that he will be revealed in his own time.

For the mystery of lawlessness is at work already; only the one who now restrains [will do so] until he is out of the way,

and then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of his mouth, and wipe out by the appearance of his coming,

And because of this, God sends them {a powerful delusion} so that they will believe the lie,

But the Lord is faithful, who will strengthen you and guard [you] from the evil one.

And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are both doing and you will do [the things] that we are commanding.
