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,
10and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie:
12that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
