53:001:012 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in
           you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the
           Lord Jesus Christ.

53:002:001 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus
           Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

53:002:002 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by
           spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day
           of Christ is at hand.

53:002:003 Let no man deceive you by any means:  for that day shall not
           come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of
           sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

53:002:004 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called
           God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the
           temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

53:002:005 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you
           these things?

53:002:006 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in
           his time.

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.
