2 Thessalonians 2:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ Now you know what holds him back so that he can be revealed when his time comes. ⁷ The hidden plan to live without any law is at work now, but it will be secret only until the one who is holding it back is out of the way. ⁸ Then the person who is lawless will be revealed. The Lord Jesus will destroy him with the breath from his mouth. When the Lord comes, his appearance will put an end to him.
