⁹The coming of the lawless one is ^maccording to the working of Satan, with all power, ⁿsigns, and lying wonders, ¹⁰and with all unrighteous deception among ^othose who perish, because they did not receive ^pthe love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹And ^qfor this reason God will send them strong delusion, ^rthat they should believe the lie, ¹²that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but ^shad pleasure in unrighteousness.

Stand Fast

¹³But we are ⁶bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God ^tfrom the beginning ^uchose you for salvation ^vthrough ⁷sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, ¹⁴to which He called you by our gospel, for ^wthe obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁵Therefore, brethren, ^xstand fast and hold ^ythe traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our ⁸epistle.

¹⁶Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, ^zwho has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and ^agood hope by grace, ¹⁷comfort your hearts ^band ⁹establish you in every good word and work.
