7For the secret of evil is even now at work: but there is one who is keeping back the evil till he is taken out of the way.
8And then will come the revelation of that evil one, whom the Lord Jesus will put to death with the breath of his mouth, and give to destruction by the revelation of his coming;
9Even the one whose coming is marked by the working of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders,
10And with every deceit of wrongdoing among those whose fate is destruction; because they were quite without that love of the true faith by which they might have salvation.
11And for this cause, God will give them up to the power of deceit and they will put their faith in what is false:
12So that they all may be judged, who had no faith in what is true, but took pleasure in evil.
13But it is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, loved by the Lord, because it was the purpose of God from the first that you might have salvation, being made holy by the Spirit and by faith in what is true:
