2:1 Now 1161 we beseech 2065 5719 you 5209, brethren 80, by 5228 the coming 3952 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, and 2532 [by] our 2257 gathering together 1997 unto 1909 him 846,(unto him: or, around him)

2:2 That 1519 ye 5209 be 4531 0 not 3361 soon 5030 shaken 4531 5683 in 575 mind 3563, or 3383 be troubled 2360 5745, neither 3383 by 1223 spirit 4151, nor 3383 by 1223 word 3056, nor 3383 by 1223 letter 1992 as 5613 from 1223 us 2257, as 5613 that 3754 the day 2250 of Christ 5547 is at hand 1764 5758.

2:3 Let 1818 0 no 3361 man 5100 deceive 1818 5661 you 5209 by 2596 any 3367 means 5158: for 3754 [that day shall not come], except 3362 there come 2064 5632 a falling away 646 first 4412, and 2532 that man 444 of sin 266 be revealed 601 5686, the son 5207 of perdition 684;

2:4 Who 3588 opposeth 480 5740 and 2532 exalteth 5229 5746 himself above 1909 all 3956 that is called 3004 5746 God 2316, or 2228 that is worshipped 4574; so 5620 that he 846 as 5613 God 2316 sitteth 2523 5658 in 1519 the temple 3485 of God 2316, shewing 584 5723 himself 1438 that 3754 he is 2076 5748 God 2316.

2:5 Remember ye 3421 5719 not 3756, that 3754, when I was 5607 5752 yet 2089 with 4314 you 5209, I told 3004 5707 you 5213 these things 5023?

2:6 And 2532 now 3568 ye know 1492 5758 what withholdeth 2722 5723 that 1519 he 846 might be revealed 601 5683 in 1722 his 1438 time 2540.(withholdeth: or, holdeth)

2:7 For 1063 the mystery 3466 of iniquity 458 doth 1754 0 already 2235 work 1754 5731: only 3440 he who now 737 letteth 2722 5723 [will let], until 2193 he be taken 1096 5638 out of 1537 the way 3319.

2:8 And 2532 then 5119 shall 601 0 that Wicked 459 be revealed 601 5701, whom 3739 the Lord 2962 shall consume 355 5692 with the spirit 4151 of his 846 mouth 4750, and 2532 shall destroy 2673 5692 with the brightness 2015 of his 846 coming 3952:

2:9 [Even him], whose 3739 coming 3952 is 2076 5748 after 2596 the working 1753 of Satan 4567 with 1722 all 3956 power 1411 and 2532 signs 4592 and 2532 lying 5579 wonders 5059,

2:10 And 2532 with 1722 all 3956 deceivableness 539 of unrighteousness 93 in 1722 them that perish 622 5730; because 473 3739 they received 1209 5662 not 3756 the love 26 of the truth 225, that 1519 they 846 might be saved 4982 5683.

2:11 And 2532 for this 5124 cause 1223 God 2316 shall send 3992 5692 them 846 strong 1753 delusion 4106, that 1519 they 846 should believe 4100 5658 a lie 5579:

2:12 That 2443 they all 3956 might be damned 2919 5686 who 3588 believed 4100 5660 not 3361 the truth 225, but 235 had pleasure 2106 5660 in 1722 unrighteousness 93.

2:13 But 1161 we 2249 are bound 3784 5719 to give thanks 2168 5721 alway 3842 to God 2316 for 4012 you 5216, brethren 80 beloved 25 5772 of 5259 the Lord 2962, because 3754 God 2316 hath 138 0 from 575 the beginning 746 chosen 138 5639 you 5209 to 1519 salvation 4991 through 1722 sanctification 38 of the Spirit 4151 and 2532 belief 4102 of the truth 225:

2:14 Whereunto 1519 3739 he called 2564 5656 you 5209 by 1223 our 2257 gospel 2098, to 1519 the obtaining 4047 of the glory 1391 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547.

2:15 Therefore 686 3767, brethren 80, stand fast 4739 5720, and 2532 hold 2902 5720 the traditions 3862 which 3739 ye have been taught 1321 5681, whether 1535 by 1223 word 3056, or 1535 1223 our 2257 epistle 1992.

2:16 Now 1161 our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 himself 846, and 2532 God 2316, even 2532 our 2257 Father 3962, which 3588 hath loved 25 5660 us 2248, and 2532 hath given 1325 5631 [us] everlasting 166 consolation 3874 and 2532 good 18 hope 1680 through 1722 grace 5485,

2:17 Comfort 3870 5659 your 5216 hearts 2588, and 2532 stablish 4741 5659 you 5209 in 1722 every 3956 good 18 word 3056 and 2532 work 2041.
