2 Thessalonians2

Do Not Be Alarmed About Christ's Coming

1
And we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and of our gathering together unto him:
2
That you be not easily moved from your sense nor be terrified, neither by spirit nor by word nor by epistle. as sent from us, as if the day of the Lord were at hand.

The Man of Lawlessness Must Be Revealed

3

11
That all may be judged who have not believed the truth but have consented to iniquity.

Therefore, brethren, stand fast: and hold the traditions, which you have learned, whether by word or by our epistle.
15
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God and our Father, who hath loved us and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope in grace,
