5. Do you not remember that I told you this while I was still with you?
6. And now you know what restrains, for him to be revealed in his time.
7. For the secret of lawlessness is already at work – only until he who now restrains comes out of the midst.
8. And then the lawless one shall be revealed, whom the Master shall consume with the Spirit of His mouth and bring to naught with the manifestation of His coming.
9. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power and signs and wonders of falsehood,
10. and with all deceit of unrighteousness in those perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth, in order for them to be saved.
