WEB·2 Thessalonians 2

¹Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to him, we ask you

KJVNow^G1161 we beseech^G2065^(G5719) you^G5209, brethren^G80, by^G5228 the coming^G3952 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, and^G2532 by our^G2257 gathering together^G1997 unto^G1909 him^G846,

² not to be quickly shaken in your mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter as if from us, saying that the day of Christ has already come.

KJVThat^G1519 ye^G5209 be^G4531 not^G3361 soon^G5030 shaken^G4531^(G5683) in^G575 mind^G3563, or^G3383 be troubled^G2360^(G5745), neither^G3383 by^G1223 spirit^G4151, nor^G3383 by^G1223 word^G3056, nor^G3383 by^G1223 letter^G1992 as^G5613 from^G1223 us^G2257, as^G5613 that^G3754 the day^G2250 of Christ^G5547 is at hand^G1764^(G5758).

³ Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction.

KJVLet^G1818 no^G3361 man^G5100 deceive^G1818^(G5661) you^G5209 by^G2596 any^G3367 means^G5158: for^G3754 that day shall not come, except^G3362 there come^G2064^(G5632) a falling away^G646 first^G4412, and^G2532 that man^G444 of sin^G266 be revealed^G601^(G5686), the son^G5207 of perdition^G684;

⁴ He opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.

KJVWho^G3588 opposeth^G480^(G5740) and^G2532 exalteth^G5229^(G5746) himself above^G1909 all^G3956 that is called^G3004^(G5746) God^G2316, or^G2228 that is worshipped^G4574; so^G5620 that he^G846 as^G5613 God^G2316 sitteth^G2523^(G5658) in^G1519 the temple^G3485 of God^G2316, shewing^G584^(G5723) himself^G1438 that^G3754 he is^G2076^(G5748) God^G2316.

⁵ Don’t you remember that when I was still with you, I told you these things?

KJVRemember ye^G3421^(G5719) not^G3756, that^G3754, when I was^G5607^(G5752) yet^G2089 with^G4314 you^G5209, I told^G3004^(G5707) you^G5213 these things^G5023?

⁶ Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

KJVAnd^G2532 now^G3568 ye know^G1492^(G5758) what withholdeth^G2722^(G5723) that^G1519 he^G846 might be revealed^G601^(G5683) in^G1722 his^G1438 time^G2540.

⁷ For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way.

KJVFor^G1063 the mystery^G3466 of iniquity^G458 doth^G1754 already^G2235 work^G1754^(G5731): only^G3440 he who now^G737 letteth^G2722^(G5723) will let, until^G2193 he be taken^G1096^(G5638) out of^G1537 the way^G3319.

⁸ Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the manifestation of his coming;

KJVAnd^G2532 then^G5119 shall^G601 that Wicked^G459 be revealed^G601^(G5701), whom^G3739 the Lord^G2962 shall consume^G355^(G5692) with the spirit^G4151 of his^G846 mouth^G4750, and^G2532 shall destroy^G2673^(G5692) with the brightness^G2015 of his^G846 coming^G3952:

⁹ even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

KJVEven him, whose^G3739 coming^G3952 is^G2076^(G5748) after^G2596 the working^G1753 of Satan^G4567 with^G1722 all^G3956 power^G1411 and^G2532 signs^G4592 and^G2532 lying^G5579 wonders^G5059,

¹⁰ and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn’t receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

KJVAnd^G2532 with^G1722 all^G3956 deceivableness^G539 of unrighteousness^G93 in^G1722 them that perish^G622^(G5730); because^G473^G3739 they received^G1209^(G5662) not^G3756 the love^G26 of the truth^G225, that^G1519 they^G846 might be saved^G4982^(G5683).

¹¹ Because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion, that they should believe a lie,

KJVAnd^G2532 for this^G5124 cause^G1223 God^G2316 shall send^G3992^(G5692) them^G846 strong^G1753 delusion^G4106, that^G1519 they^G846 should believe^G4100^(G5658) a lie^G5579:

¹² that they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

KJVThat^G2443 they all^G3956 might be damned^G2919^(G5686) who^G3588 believed^G4100^(G5660) not^G3361 the truth^G225, but^G235 had pleasure^G2106^(G5660) in^G1722 unrighteousness^G93.

¹³ But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth,

KJVBut^G1161 we^G2249 are bound^G3784^(G5719) to give thanks^G2168^(G5721) alway^G3842 to God^G2316 for^G4012 you^G5216, brethren^G80 beloved^G25^(G5772) of^G5259 the Lord^G2962, because^G3754 God^G2316 hath^G138 from^G575 the beginning^G746 chosen^G138^(G5639) you^G5209 to^G1519 salvation^G4991 through^G1722 sanctification^G38 of the Spirit^G4151 and^G2532 belief^G4102 of the truth^G225:

¹⁴ to which he called you through our Good News, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

KJVWhereunto^G1519^G3739 he called^G2564^(G5656) you^G5209 by^G1223 our^G2257 gospel^G2098, to^G1519 the obtaining^G4047 of the glory^G1391 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

¹⁵ So then, brothers, stand firm and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word or by letter.

KJVTherefore^G686^G3767, brethren^G80, stand fast^G4739^(G5720), and^G2532 hold^G2902^(G5720) the traditions^G3862 which^G3739 ye have been taught^G1321^(G5681), whether^G1535 by^G1223 word^G3056, or^G1535^G1223 our^G2257 epistle^G1992.

¹⁶ Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

KJVNow^G1161 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 himself^G846, and^G2532 God^G2316, even^G2532 our^G2257 Father^G3962, which^G3588 hath loved^G25^(G5660) us^G2248, and^G2532 hath given^G1325^(G5631) us everlasting^G166 consolation^G3874 and^G2532 good^G18 hope^G1680 through^G1722 grace^G5485,

¹⁷ comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.

KJVComfort^G3870^(G5659) your^G5216 hearts^G2588, and^G2532 stablish^G4741^(G5659) you^G5209 in^G1722 every^G3956 good^G18 word^G3056 and^G2532 work^G2041.

WEB·2 Thessalonians 1

¹Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

KJVPaul^G3972, and^G2532 Silvanus^G4610, and^G2532 Timotheus^G5095, unto the church^G1577 of the Thessalonians^G2331 in^G1722 God^G2316 our^G2257 Father^G3962 and^G2532 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547:

² Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

KJVGrace^G5485 unto you^G5213, and^G2532 peace^G1515, from^G575 God^G2316 our^G2257 Father^G3962 and^G2532 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

³ We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you toward one another abounds,

KJVWe are bound^G3784^(G5719) to thank^G2168^(G5721) God^G2316 always^G3842 for^G4012 you^G5216, brethren^G80, as^G2531 it is^G2076^(G5748) meet^G514, because^G3754 that your^G5216 faith^G4102 groweth exceedingly^G5232^(G5719), and^G2532 the charity^G26 of every^G1538 one^G1520 of you^G5216 all^G3956 toward^G1519 each other^G240 aboundeth^G4121^(G5719);

⁴ so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.

KJVSo^G5620 that we^G2248 ourselves^G846 glory^G2744^(G5738) in^G1722 you^G5213 in^G1722 the churches^G1577 of God^G2316 for^G5228 your^G5216 patience^G5281 and^G2532 faith^G4102 in^G1722 all^G3956 your^G5216 persecutions^G1375 and^G2532 tribulations^G2347 that^G3739 ye endure^G430^(G5736):

⁵ This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of God’s Kingdom, for which you also suffer.

KJVWhich is a manifest token^G1730 of the righteous^G1342 judgment^G2920 of God^G2316, that^G1519 ye^G5209 may be counted worthy^G2661^(G5683) of the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316, for^G5228 which^G3739 ye^G3958 also^G2532 suffer^G3958^(G5719):

⁶ For it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,

KJVSeeing^G1512 it is a righteous thing^G1342 with^G3844 God^G2316 to recompense^G467^(G5629) tribulation^G2347 to them that trouble^G2346^(G5723) you^G5209;

⁷ and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

KJVAnd^G2532 to you^G5213 who are troubled^G2346^(G5746) rest^G425 with^G3326 us^G2257, when^G1722 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 shall be revealed^G602 from^G575 heaven^G3772 with^G3326 his^G846 mighty^G1411 angels^G32,

⁸ punishing those who don’t know God, and to those who don’t obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,

KJVIn^G1722 flaming^G5395 fire^G4442 taking^G1325^(G5723) vengeance^G1557 on them that know^G1492^(G5761) not^G3361 God^G2316, and^G2532 that obey^G5219^(G5723) not^G3361 the gospel^G2098 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547:

⁹ who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

KJVWho^G3748 shall be punished^G1349^G5099^(G5692) with everlasting^G166 destruction^G3639 from^G575 the presence^G4383 of the Lord^G2962, and^G2532 from^G575 the glory^G1391 of his^G846 power^G2479;

¹⁰ when he comes in that day to be glorified in his saints and to be admired among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

KJVWhen^G3752 he shall come^G2064^(G5632) to be glorified^G1740^(G5683) in^G1722 his^G846 saints^G40, and^G2532 to be admired^G2296^(G5683) in^G1722 all^G3956 them that believe^G4100^(G5723)(because^G3754 our^G2257 testimony^G3142 among^G1909 you^G5209 was believed^G4100^(G5681)) in^G1722 that^G1565 day^G2250.

¹¹ To this end we also pray always for you that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power,

KJVWherefore^G1519^G3739 also^G2532 we pray^G4336^(G5736) always^G3842 for^G4012 you^G5216, that^G2443 our^G2257 God^G2316 would count^G515 you^G5209 worthy^G515^(G5661) of this calling^G2821, and^G2532 fulfil^G4137^(G5661) all^G3956 the good pleasure^G2107 of his goodness^G19, and^G2532 the work^G2041 of faith^G4102 with^G1722 power^G1411:

¹² that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
