2 Thessalonians 25-17

• 5 Don't you remember that when I was with you I
  used to tell you these things?
• 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so
  that he may be revealed at the proper time.
• 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already
  at work but the one who now holds it back will
  continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.

20
2 Thessalonians 25-17

• 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed,
  whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the
  breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor
  of his coming.
• 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in
  accordance with the work of Satan displayed in
  all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and
  wonders,

21
2 Thessalonians 25-17

• 10 and in every sort of evil that deceives those
  who are perishing. They perish because they
  refused to love the truth and so be saved.
• 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful
  delusion so that they will believe the lie 12
  and so that all will be condemned who have not
  believed the truth but have delighted in
  wickedness.

22
2 Thessalonians 25-17

• 13 But we ought always to thank God for you,
  brothers loved by the Lord, because from the
  beginning God chose you to be saved through the
  sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief
  in the truth.
• 14 He called you to this through our gospel,
  that you might share in the glory of our Lord
  Jesus Christ.

23
2 Thessalonians 25-17

• 15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the
  teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of
  mouth or by letter.
• 16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our
  Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us
  eternal encouragement and good hope,
• 17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in
  every good deed and word.

  the good of those who love him, who have been

  those he called, he also justified those he
  justified, he also glorified.
