2 Thessalonians 2:3-12

3 gLet no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, hunless the rebellion comes first, and ithe man of lawlessness
Some manuscripts sin
is revealed, kthe son of destruction,
Greek  the son of perdition (a Hebrew idiom)
4who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, mproclaiming himself to be God. 5Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. 7For nthe mystery of lawlessness ois already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. 8And then pthe lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus qwill kill with rthe breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by sthe appearance of his coming. 9The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan twith all power and false signs and wonders, 10and with all wicked deception for uthose who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11Therefore vGod sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe wwhat is false, 12in order that all may be condemned xwho did not believe the truth but yhad pleasure in unrighteousness.
