2 Thessalonians 2:7-12

Modern English Version

⁷ For the mystery of lawlessness is already working. Only He who is now restraining him will do so until He is taken out of the way. ⁸ Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth, and destroy with the brightness of His presence, ⁹ even him, whose coming is in accordance with the working of Satan with all power and signs and false wonders, ¹⁰ and with all deception of unrighteousness among those who perish, because they did not receive the love for the truth that they might be saved. ¹¹ Therefore God will send them a strong delusion, that they should believe the lie: ¹² that they all might be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
