[6] Seeing
it is a just thing with God to repay tribulation to them that trouble
you:
[7]
And to you who are troubled, rest with us when the Lord Jesus shall be
revealed from heaven, with the angels of his power:
[8] In a
flame of fire, giving vengeance to them who know not God, and who obey
not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
[9] Who
shall suffer eternal punishment in destruction, from the face of the
Lord, and from the glory of his power:
[10] When
he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be made wonderful
in all them who have believed; because our testimony was believed upon
you in that day.
[3] ... for
unless there come a revolt first, and the man of sin be
revealed, the son of perdition,
[4] Who
opposeth, and is lifted up above all that is called God, or that is
worshipped, so that he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing
himself as if he were God.
[5] Remember
you not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
[6] And now
you know what withholdeth, that he may be revealed in his time.
[7] For the
mystery of iniquity already worketh; only that he who now holdeth, do
hold, until he be taken out of the way.
[8] And then
that wicked one shall be revealed whom the Lord Jesus shall kill with
the spirit of his mouth; and shall destroy with the brightness of his
coming, him,
[9]
Whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power, and
signs, and lying wonders,
[10] And in
all seduction of iniquity to them that perish; because they receive not
the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God
shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying:
[11] That
all may be judged who have not believed the truth, but have consented
to iniquity.
[12]
But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of
God, for that God hath chosen you firstfruits unto salvation, in
sanctification of the spirit, and faith of the truth:
[13] But
you, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
[14] And if
any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and do not
keep company with him, that he may be ashamed:
[15] Yet do
not esteem him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
