53:002:007 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 53:002:008 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 53:002:009 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 53:002:010 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 53:002:011 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 53:002:012 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 53:002:013 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 53:002:014 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 53:002:015 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 53:002:016 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 53:002:017 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. 53:003:001 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: 53:003:002 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. 53:003:003 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. 53:003:004 And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. 53:003:005 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. 53:003:006 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. 53:003:007 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; 53:003:008 Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: 53:003:009 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
