3
Let no man deceive you by any means, for that Day shall not come, unless there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,
4
who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sitteth as God in the temple of God, showing himself to be God.
5
Remember ye not that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6
And now ye know what withholdeth, that he might be revealed in his time.
7
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now holdeth back will hold him back, until he is taken out of the way.
8
And then shall that wicked one be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming--
9
even him, whose coming is according to the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10
and with all the deceit of unrighteousness in those who perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
