GNT

1 ἐρωτῶμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, ὑπὲρ τῆς παρουσίας τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ καὶ ἡμῶν ἐπισυναγωγῆς ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν,

2 εἰς τὸ μὴ ταχέως σαλευθῆναι ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ νοὸς μηδὲ θροεῖσθαι μήτε διὰ πνεύματος μήτε διὰ λόγου μήτε δι᾽ ἐπιστολῆς ὡς δι᾽ ἡμῶν, ὡς ὅτι ἐνέστηκεν ἡ ἡμέρα τοῦ κυρίου.

3 μή τις ὑμᾶς ἐξαπατήσῃ κατὰ μηδένα τρόπον· ὅτι ἐὰν μὴ ἔλθῃ ἡ ἀποστασία πρῶτον καὶ ἀποκαλυφθῇ ὁ ἄνθρωπος τῆς ἀνομίας, ὁ υἱὸς τῆς ἀπωλείας,

4 ὁ ἀντικείμενος καὶ ὑπεραιρόμενος ἐπὶ πάντα λεγόμενον θεὸν ἢ σέβασμα, ὥστε αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν ναὸν τοῦ θεοῦ καθίσαι, ἀποδεικνύντα ἑαυτὸν ὅτι ἔστιν θεός.

5 οὐ μνημονεύετε ὅτι ἔτι ὢν πρὸς ὑμᾶς ταῦτα ἔλεγον ὑμῖν;

6 καὶ νῦν τὸ κατέχον οἴδατε, εἰς τὸ ἀποκαλυφθῆναι αὐτὸν ἐν τῶ ἑαυτοῦ καιρῶ.

7 τὸ γὰρ μυστήριον ἤδη ἐνεργεῖται τῆς ἀνομίας· μόνον ὁ κατέχων ἄρτι ἕως ἐκ μέσου γένηται.

8 καὶ τότε ἀποκαλυφθήσεται ὁ ἄνομος, ὃν ὁ κύριος [ἰησοῦς] ἀνελεῖ τῶ πνεύματι τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ καὶ καταργήσει τῇ ἐπιφανείᾳ τῆς παρουσίας αὐτοῦ,

9 οὖ ἐστιν ἡ παρουσία κατ᾽ ἐνέργειαν τοῦ σατανᾶ ἐν πάσῃ δυνάμει καὶ σημείοις καὶ τέρασιν ψεύδους

10 καὶ ἐν πάσῃ ἀπάτῃ ἀδικίας τοῖς ἀπολλυμένοις, ἀνθ᾽ ὧν τὴν ἀγάπην τῆς ἀληθείας οὐκ ἐδέξαντο εἰς τὸ σωθῆναι αὐτούς.

11 καὶ διὰ τοῦτο πέμπει αὐτοῖς ὁ θεὸς ἐνέργειαν πλάνης εἰς τὸ πιστεῦσαι αὐτοὺς τῶ ψεύδει,

12 ἵνα κριθῶσιν πάντες οἱ μὴ πιστεύσαντες τῇ ἀληθείᾳ ἀλλὰ εὐδοκήσαντες τῇ ἀδικίᾳ.

13 ἡμεῖς δὲ ὀφείλομεν εὐχαριστεῖν τῶ θεῶ πάντοτε περὶ ὑμῶν, ἀδελφοὶ ἠγαπημένοι ὑπὸ κυρίου, ὅτι εἵλατο ὑμᾶς ὁ θεὸς ἀπαρχὴν εἰς σωτηρίαν ἐν ἁγιασμῶ πνεύματος καὶ πίστει ἀληθείας,

14 εἰς ὃ [καὶ] ἐκάλεσεν ὑμᾶς διὰ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου ἡμῶν, εἰς περιποίησιν δόξης τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ.

15 ἄρα οὗν, ἀδελφοί, στήκετε, καὶ κρατεῖτε τὰς παραδόσεις ἃς ἐδιδάχθητε εἴτε διὰ λόγου εἴτε δι᾽ ἐπιστολῆς ἡμῶν.

16 αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν ἰησοῦς χριστὸς καὶ [ὁ] θεὸς ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν, ὁ ἀγαπήσας ἡμᾶς καὶ δοὺς παράκλησιν αἰωνίαν καὶ ἐλπίδα ἀγαθὴν ἐν χάριτι,

17 παρακαλέσαι ὑμῶν τὰς καρδίας καὶ στηρίξαι ἐν παντὶ ἔργῳ καὶ λόγῳ ἀγαθῶ.

1  Now¹¹⁶¹ we beseech²⁰⁶⁵ you,⁵²⁰⁹ brethren,⁸⁰ by⁵²²⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ coming³⁹⁵² of our²²⁵⁷ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ and²⁵³² by our²²⁵⁷ gathering together¹⁹⁹⁷ unto¹⁹⁰⁹ him,⁸⁴⁶

2  That ye⁵²⁰⁹ be not³³⁶¹ soon⁵⁰³⁰ shaken⁴⁵³¹ in⁵⁷⁵ mind,³⁵⁶³ or³³⁸³ be troubled,²³⁶⁰ neither³³⁸³ by¹²²³ spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ nor³³⁸³ by¹²²³ word,³⁰⁵⁶ nor³³⁸³ by¹²²³ letter¹⁹⁹² as⁵⁶¹³ from¹²²³ us,²²⁵⁷ as that³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ day²²⁵⁰ of Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ is at hand.¹⁷⁶⁴

3  Let no³³⁶¹ man⁵¹⁰⁰ deceive¹⁸¹⁸ you⁵²⁰⁹ by²⁵⁹⁶ any³³⁶⁷ means:⁵¹⁵⁸ for³⁷⁵⁴ that day shall not come, except³³⁶² there come²⁰⁶⁴ a falling away⁶⁴⁶ first,⁴⁴¹² and²⁵³² that man⁴⁴⁴ of sin²⁶⁶ be revealed,⁶⁰¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ son⁵²⁰⁷ of perdition;⁶⁸⁴

4  Who opposeth⁴⁸⁰ and²⁵³² exalteth himself⁵²²⁹ above¹⁹⁰⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ that is called³⁰⁰⁴ God,²³¹⁶ or²²²⁸ that is worshiped;⁴⁵⁷⁴ so that⁵⁶²⁰ he⁸⁴⁶ as⁵⁶¹³ God²³¹⁶ sitteth²⁵²³ in¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ temple³⁴⁸⁵ of God,²³¹⁶ showing⁵⁸⁴ himself¹⁴³⁸ that³⁷⁵⁴ he is²⁰⁷⁶ God.²³¹⁶

5  Remember³⁴²¹ ye not,³⁷⁵⁶ that,³⁷⁵⁴ when I was⁵⁶⁰⁷ yet²⁰⁸⁹ with⁴³¹⁴ you,⁵²⁰⁹ I told³⁰⁰⁴ you⁵²¹³ these things?⁵⁰²³

6  And²⁵³² now³⁵⁶⁸ ye know¹⁴⁹² what withholdeth²⁷²² that he⁸⁴⁶ might be revealed⁶⁰¹ in¹⁷²² his¹⁴³⁸ time.²⁵⁴⁰

7  For¹⁰⁶³ the³⁵⁸⁸ mystery³⁴⁶⁶ of iniquity⁴⁵⁸ doth already²²³⁵ work:¹⁷⁵⁴ only³⁴⁴⁰ he who now letteth^{2722 737} will let, until²¹⁹³ he be taken¹⁰⁹⁶ out of¹⁵³⁷ the way.³³¹⁹

8  And²⁵³² then⁵¹¹⁹ shall that Wicked⁴⁵⁹ be revealed,⁶⁰¹ whom³⁷³⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² shall consume³⁵⁵ with the³⁵⁸⁸ spirit⁴¹⁵¹ of his⁸⁴⁸ mouth,⁴⁷⁵⁰ and²⁵³² shall destroy²⁶⁷³ with the³⁵⁸⁸ brightness²⁰¹⁵ of his⁸⁴⁸ coming:³⁹⁵²

9  Even him, whose³⁷³⁹ coming³⁹⁵² is²⁰⁷⁶ after²⁵⁹⁶ the working¹⁷⁵³ of Satan⁴⁵⁶⁷ with¹⁷²² all³⁹⁵⁶ power¹⁴¹¹ and²⁵³² signs⁴⁵⁹² and²⁵³² lying⁵⁵⁷⁹ wonders,⁵⁰⁵⁹

10  And²⁵³² with¹⁷²² all³⁹⁵⁶ deceivableness⁵³⁹ of unrighteousness⁹³ in¹⁷²² them that perish;⁶²² because^{473 3739} they received¹²⁰⁹ not³⁷⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ love²⁶ of the³⁵⁸⁸ truth,²²⁵ that they⁸⁴⁶ might be saved.⁴⁹⁸²

11  And²⁵³² for this cause^{1223 5124} God²³¹⁶ shall send³⁹⁹² them⁸⁴⁶ strong delusion,^{1753 4106} that they⁸⁴⁶ should believe⁴¹⁰⁰ a lie:⁵⁵⁷⁹

12  That²⁴⁴³ they all³⁹⁵⁶ might be damned²⁹¹⁹ who believed⁴¹⁰⁰ not³³⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ truth,²²⁵ but²³⁵ had pleasure²¹⁰⁶ in¹⁷²² unrighteousness.⁹³

13  But¹¹⁶¹ we²²⁴⁹ are bound³⁷⁸⁴ to give thanks²¹⁶⁸ always³⁸⁴² to God²³¹⁶ for⁴⁰¹² you,⁵²¹⁶ brethren⁸⁰ beloved²⁵ of⁵²⁵⁹ the Lord,²⁹⁶² because³⁷⁵⁴ God²³¹⁶ hath from⁵⁷⁵ the beginning⁷⁴⁶ chosen¹³⁸ you⁵²⁰⁹ to¹⁵¹⁹ salvation⁴⁹⁹¹ through¹⁷²² sanctification³⁸ of the Spirit⁴¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² belief⁴¹⁰² of the truth:²²⁵

14  Whereunto^{1519 3739} he called²⁵⁶⁴ you⁵²⁰⁹ by¹²²³ our²²⁵⁷ gospel,²⁰⁹⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ the obtaining⁴⁰⁴⁷ of the glory¹³⁹¹ of our²²⁵⁷ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

15  Therefore,^{686 3767} brethren,⁸⁰ stand fast,⁴⁷³⁹ and²⁵³² hold²⁹⁰² the³⁵⁸⁸ traditions³⁸⁶² which³⁷³⁹ ye have been taught,¹³²¹ whether¹⁵³⁵ by¹²²³ word,³⁰⁵⁶ or^{1535 1223} our²²⁵⁷ epistle.¹⁹⁹²

16  Now¹¹⁶¹ our²²⁵⁷ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ himself,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² God,²³¹⁶ even²⁵³² our²²⁵⁷ Father,³⁹⁶² which hath loved²⁵ us,²²⁴⁸ and²⁵³² hath given¹³²⁵ us everlasting¹⁶⁶ consolation³⁸⁷⁴ and²⁵³² good¹⁸ hope¹⁶⁸⁰ through¹⁷²² grace,⁵⁴⁸⁵

17  Comfort³⁸⁷⁰ your⁵²¹⁶ hearts,²⁵⁸⁸ and²⁵³² establish⁴⁷⁴¹ you⁵²⁰⁹ in¹⁷²² every³⁹⁵⁶ good¹⁸ word³⁰⁵⁶ and²⁵³² work.²⁰⁴¹

Vul

1 Rogamus autem vos, fratres, per adventum Domini nostri Jesu Christi, et nostræ congregationis in ipsum:

2 ut non cito moveamini a vestro sensu, neque terreamini, neque per spiritum, neque per sermonem, neque per epistolam tamquam per nos missam, quasi instet dies Domini.

3 Ne quis vos seducat ullo modo: quoniam nisi venerit discessio primum, et revelatus fuerit homo peccati filius perditionis,

4 qui adversatur, et extollitur supra omne, quod dicitur Deus, aut quod colitur, ita ut in templo Dei sedeat ostendens se tamquam sit Deus.

5 Non retinetis quod cum adhuc essem apud vos, hæc dicebam vobis?

6 et nunc quid detineat scitis, ut reveletur in suo tempore.

7 Nam mysterium jam operatur iniquitatis: tantum ut qui tenet nunc, teneat, donec de medio fiat.

8 Et tunc revelabitur ille iniquus, quem Dominus Jesus interficiet spiritu oris sui, et destruet illustratione adventus sui eum:

9 cujus est adventus secundum operationem Satanæ in omni virtute, et signis, et prodigiis mendacibus,

10 et in omni seductione iniquitatis iis qui pereunt: eo quod caritatem veritatis non receperunt ut salvi fierent.

11 Ideo mittet illis Deus operationem erroris ut credant mendacio,

12 ut judicentur omnes qui non crediderunt veritati, sed consenserunt iniquitati.

13 Nos autem debemus gratias agere Deo semper pro vobis, fratres dilecti a Deo, quod elegerit vos Deus primitias in salutem in sanctificatione spiritus, et in fide veritatis:

14 in qua et vocavit vos per Evangelium nostrum in acquisitionem gloriæ Domini nostri Jesu Christi.

15 Itaque fratres, state: et tenete traditiones, quas didicistis, sive per sermonem, sive per epistolam nostram.

16 Ipse autem Dominus noster Jesus Christus, et Deus et Pater noster, qui dilexit nos, et dedit consolationem æternam, et spem bonam in gratia,

17 exhortetur corda vestra, et confirmet in omni opere et sermone bono.
