4. Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
5. Do you not remember, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6. And now you know what restrains that he might be revealed in his time.
7. For the mystery of iniquity does already work: only he who now restrains will do so, until he be taken out of the way.
8. And then shall that Wicked One be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the breath of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9. Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10. And with all deception of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
