3let no man beguile you in any wise: for [it will not be,] except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,
4he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God.
5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6And now ye know that which restraineth, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.
7For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only [there is] one that restraineth now, until he be taken out of the way.
8And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming;
9[even he], whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
