⁹The coming of the man of sin will be Satan’s work. His work will be seen in all kinds of fake miracles, signs and wonders. ¹⁰It will be seen in every kind of evil that fools people who are dying. They are dying because they refuse to love the truth. The truth would save them.

¹¹So God will fool them completely. Then they will believe the lie. ¹²Many will not believe the truth. They will take pleasure in evil. They will be judged.

Stand Firm

¹³Brothers and sisters, we should always thank God for you. The Lord loves you. God chose you from the beginning. He wanted you to be saved. Salvation comes through the Holy Spirit’s work. He makes people holy. It also comes through believing the truth. ¹⁴He chose you to be saved by accepting the good news that we preach. And you will share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

¹⁵Brothers and sisters, stand firm. Hold on to what we taught you. We passed our teachings on to you by what we preached and wrote.

¹⁶Our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father loved us. By his grace God gave us comfort that will last forever. The hope he gave us is good.

May our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father ¹⁷comfort your hearts. May they make you strong in every good thing you do and say.

Read in Logos
