2 Thessalonians

不法的人

1弟兄们，论到我们主耶稣基督降临和我们到他那里聚集，

2我劝你们：无论有灵、有言语、有冒我名的书信，说主的日子现在到了，不要轻易动心，也不要惊慌。

3人不拘用什么法子，你们总不要被他诱惑；因为那日子以前，必有离道反教的事，并有那大罪人，就是沉沦之子，显露出来。

4他是抵挡主，高抬自己，超过一切称为神的和一切受人敬拜的，甚至坐在 神的殿里，自称是 神。

5我还在你们那里的时候，曾把这些事告诉你们，你们不记得吗？

6现在你们也知道，那拦阻他的是什么，是叫他到了的时候才可以显露。

7因为那不法的隐意已经发动，只是现在有一个拦阻的，等到那拦阻的被除去，

8那时这不法的人必显露出来。主耶稣要用口中的气灭绝他，用降临的荣光废掉他。

9这不法的人来，是照撒但的运动，行各样的异能、神迹，和一切虚假的奇事，

10并且在那沉沦的人身上行各样出于不义的诡诈；因他们不领受爱真理的心，使他们得救。

11故此， 神就给他们一个生发错误的心，叫他们信从虚谎，

12使一切不信真理、倒喜爱不义的人都被定罪。

被拣选接受救恩

13主所爱的弟兄们哪，我们本该常为你们感谢 神；因为他从起初拣选了你们，叫你们因信真道，又被圣灵感动，成为圣洁，能以得救。

14神借我们所传的福音召你们到这地步，好得着我们主耶稣基督的荣光。

15所以，弟兄们，你们要站立得稳，凡所领受的教训，不拘是我们口传的，是信上写的，都要坚守。

16但愿我们主耶稣基督和那爱我们、开恩将永远的安慰并美好的盼望赐给我们的父 神，

17安慰你们的心，并且在一切善行善言上坚固你们。

1Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him;

2to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at hand;

3let no man beguile you in any wise: for it will not be, except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,

4he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God.

5Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

6And now ye know that which restraineth, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.

7For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only there is one that restraineth now, until he be taken out of the way.

8And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming;

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

10and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie:

12that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

13But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

14whereunto he called you through our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15So then, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye were taught, whether by word, or by epistle of ours.

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

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