2 THESAL. ii. 3-13. 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, tbe Son of Perdition ; who

opposeth opposeth and exalteth himself above all, that is called God, or is worshipped : 10 that he, as God, fitteth in the temple of God, Shewing himself, that he is God. Remember ye not, that when I was yet with

you, I told you these things ? And now ye know what with-boldeth, that be might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work, only be, who now letteth, will lett, until be be taken out of the way. And then shall that wicked one be revealed, whom the Lord Mall consume by the spirit of his mouth, and destroy by the brightness of his coming : even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan, with all power, and figns, and lying wonders ; and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God Mall send them strong delufons, that they Mould believe a lie; that they all might be damned, who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
