| 2:1 | Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, |
| 2:2 | That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. |
| 2:3 | Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; |
| 2:4 | Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. |
| 2:5 | Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? |
| 2:6 | And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. |
| 2:7 | For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. |
| 2:8 | And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: |
| 2:9 | Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, |
| 2:10 | And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. |
| 2:11 | And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: |
| 2:12 | That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. |
| 2:13 | But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: |
| 2:14 | Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 2:15 | Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. |
| 2:16 | Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, |
| 2:16 | 但願我們主耶穌基督、和那愛我們、開恩將永遠的安慰、並美好的盼望、賜給我們的父 神、 |
| 2:16 | 但愿我们主耶稣基督，和那爱我们，开恩将永远的安慰，并美好的盼望，赐给我们的父神， |
| jhn:3:16 | For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. |
| jhn:13:1 | Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. |
| 1jn:4:10 | Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. |
| rev:1:5 | And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, |
| 1pe:1:3 | Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, |
| COBL | |
| 2:17 | Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. |
