2TH 02:06 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 2TH 02:07 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [will let], until he be taken out of the way. 2TH 02:08 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 2TH 02:09 [Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 2TH 02:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 2TH 02:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 2TH 02:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2TH 02:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 2TH 02:14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2TH 02:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 2TH 02:16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given [us] everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 2TH 02:17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. 2TH 03:01 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have [free] course, and be glorified, even as [it is] with you: 2TH 03:02 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all [men] have not faith. 2TH 03:03 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep [you] from evil. 2TH 03:04 And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. 2TH 03:05 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. 2TH 03:06 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. 2TH 03:07 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; 2TH 03:08 Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: 2TH 03:09 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. 2TH 03:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 2TH 03:11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. 2TH 03:12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. 2TH 03:13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing. 2TH 03:14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. 2TH 03:15 Yet count [him] not as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother. 2TH 03:16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord [be] with you all. 2TH 03:17 The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write. 2TH 03:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.   ~~~~~~
