2 Thessalonians 2

1Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you,

ερωτωμεν δε υμας, αδελφοι, υπερ της παρουσιας του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου και ημων επισυναγωγης επ αυτον,

2not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.

εις το μη ταχεως σαλευθηναι υμας απο του νοος μητε θροεισθαι μητε δια του πνευματος μητε δια λογου μητε δι επιστολης ως δι ημων, ως οτι ενεστηκεν η ημερα του χριστου.

3Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,

μη τις υμας εξαπατηση κατα μηδενα τροπον· οτι εαν μη ελθη η αποστασια πρωτον και αποκαλυφθη ο ανθρωπος της αμαρτιας, ο υιος της απωλειας,

4who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

ο αντικειμενος και υπεραιρομενος επι παντα λεγομενον θεον η σεβασμα, ωστε αυτον εις τον ναον του θεου ως θεον καθισαι, αποδεικνυντα εαυτον οτι εστιν θεος.

5Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?

ου μνημονευετε οτι ετι ων προς υμας ταυτα ελεγον υμιν;

6And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time.

και νυν το κατεχον οιδατε, εις το αποκαλυφθηναι αυτον εν τω εαυτου καιρω·

7For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.

το γαρ μυστηριον ηδη ενεργειται της ανομιας, μονον ο κατεχων αρτι εως εκ μεσου γενηται·

8And 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 coming.

και τοτε αποκαλυφθησεται ο ανομος, ον ο κυριος αναλωσει τω πνευματι του στοματος αυτου και καταργησει τη επιφανεια της παρουσιας αυτου·

9The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,

ου εστιν η παρουσια κατ ενεργειαν του σατανα εν παση δυναμει και σημειοις και τερασιν ψευδους

10and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

και εν παση απατη της αδικιας εν τοις απολλυμενοις, ανθ ων την αγαπην της αληθειας ουκ εδεξαντο εις το σωθηναι αυτους·

11And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,

και δια τουτο πεμψει αυτοις ο θεος ενεργειαν πλανης εις το πιστευσαι αυτους τω ψευδει,

12that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

ινα κριθωσιν παντες οι μη πιστευσαντες τη αληθεια, αλλ ευδοκησαντες εν τη αδικια.

13But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth,

ημεις δε οφειλομεν ευχαριστειν τω θεω παντοτε περι υμων, αδελφοι ηγαπημενοι υπο κυριου, οτι ειλετο υμας ο θεος απ αρχης εις σωτηριαν εν αγιασμω πνευματος και πιστει αληθειας,

14to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

εις ο εκαλεσεν υμας δια του ευαγγελιου ημων εις περιποιησιν δοξης του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου.

15Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.

αρα ουν, αδελφοι, στηκετε, και κρατειτε τας παραδοσεις ας εδιδαχθητε ειτε δια λογου ειτε δι επιστολης ημων.

16Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace,

αυτος δε ο κυριος ημων ιησους χριστος και ο θεος και πατηρ ημων, ο αγαπησας ημας και δους παρακλησιν αιωνιαν και ελπιδα αγαθην εν χαριτι,

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

παρακαλεσαι υμων τας καρδιας και στηριξαι υμας εν παντι λογω και εργω αγαθω.
