2 Thessalonians 2:5-7

New Century Version

⁵ I told you when I was with you that all this would happen. Do you not remember? ⁶ And now you know what is stopping that Man of Evil so he will appear at the right time. ⁷ The secret power of evil is already working in the world, but there is one who is stopping that power. And he will continue to stop it until he is taken out of the way.
