2 Thessalonians 2:3-7 — Legacy Standard Bible

³^aLet no one in any way deceive you, for it has not come unless the ¹^,^bapostasy comes first, and the ^cman of lawlessness is revealed, the ^dson of destruction, ⁴who opposes and exalts himself above ¹^,^aevery so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the ²sanctuary of God, ^bexhibiting himself as being God. ⁵Do you not remember that ^awhile I was still with you, I was telling you these things? ⁶And you know ^awhat restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. ⁷For ^athe mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only ^bhe who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.
