Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

2 Thessalonians 2

1 He willeth them to continue stedfast in the truth received, 3 sheweth that there shall be a departure from the faith, 8 and a discovery of antichrist, before the day of the Lord come. 15 And thereupon repeateth his former exhortation, and prayeth for them.

 2:1 ¶ Now 1161 we beseech 2065 z5719 you, 5209 brethren, 80 by 5228 the x3588 coming 3952 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ, 5547 and 2532 [by] our 2257 gathering together 1997 unto 1909 him, 846

 2:2 That y1519 ye 5209 be y4531 z0 not 3361 soon 5030 shaken 4531 z5683 in 575 mind, 3563 or 3383 be troubled, 2360 z5745 neither 3383 by 1223 spirit, 4151 nor 3383 by 1223 word, 3056 nor 3383 by 1223 letter 1992 as 5613 from 1223 us, 2257 as y5613 that 3754 the x3588 day 2250 of Christ 5547 is at hand. 1764 z5758

 2:3 Let y1818 z0 no 3361 man 5100 deceive 1818 z5661 you 5209 by 2596 any 3367 means: 5158 for 3754 [that day shall not come], except 3362 there come 2064 z5632 a falling away 646 first, 4412 and 2532 that man 444 of sin 266 be revealed, 601 z5686 the x3588 son 5207 of perdition; 684

 2:4 Who y3588 opposeth 480 z5740 and 2532 exalteth y5229 z5746 himself x5229 above 1909 all 3956 that is called 3004 z5746 God, 2316 or 2228 that is worshipped; 4574 so y5620 that x5620 he 846 as 5613 God 2316 sitteth 2523 z5658 in 1519 the x3588 temple 3485 of God, 2316 shewing 584 z5723 himself 1438 that 3754 he is 2076 z5748 God. 2316

 2:5 Remember x3421 ye y3421 z5719 not, 3756 that, 3754 when I was 5607 z5752 yet 2089 with 4314 you, 5209 I told 3004 z5707 you 5213 these things? 5023

 2:6 And 2532 now 3568 ye know 1492 z5758 what withholdeth 2722 z5723 that y1519 he 846 might be revealed 601 z5683 in 1722 his 1438 time. 2540

 2:7 For 1063 the x3588 mystery 3466 of iniquity 458 doth y1754 z0 already 2235 work: 1754 z5731 only 3440 he who now y737 letteth 2722 z5723 x737 [will let], until 2193 he be taken 1096 z5638 out of 1537 the way. 3319

 2:8 And 2532 then 5119 shall y601 z0 that Wicked 459 be revealed, 601 z5701 whom 3739 the x3588 Lord 2962 shall consume 355 z5692 with the x3588 spirit 4151 of his y846 x848 mouth, 4750 and 2532 shall destroy 2673 z5692 with the x3588 brightness 2015 of his y846 x848 coming: 3952

 2:9 [Even him], whose 3739 coming 3952 is 2076 z5748 after 2596 the working 1753 of Satan 4567 with 1722 all 3956 power 1411 and 2532 signs 4592 and 2532 lying 5579 wonders, 5059

 2:10 And 2532 with 1722 all 3956 deceivableness 539 of unrighteousness 93 in 1722 them that perish; 622 z5730 because 473 3739 they received 1209 z5662 not 3756 the x3588 love 26 of the x3588 truth, 225 that y1519 they 846 might be saved. 4982 z5683

 2:11 And 2532 for this y5124 cause 1223 x5124 God 2316 shall send 3992 z5692 them 846 strong y1753 delusion, 4106 x1753 that y1519 they 846 should believe 4100 z5658 a lie: 5579

 2:12 That 2443 they all 3956 might be damned 2919 z5686 who y3588 believed 4100 z5660 not 3361 the x3588 truth, 225 but 235 had pleasure 2106 z5660 in 1722 unrighteousness. 93 x1

 2:13 But 1161 we 2249 are bound 3784 z5719 to give thanks 2168 z5721 alway 3842 to God 2316 for 4012 you, 5216 brethren 80 beloved 25 z5772 of 5259 the Lord, 2962 because 3754 God 2316 hath y138 z0 from 575 the beginning 746 chosen 138 z5639 you 5209 to 1519 salvation 4991 through 1722 sanctification 38 of the Spirit 4151 and 2532 belief 4102 of the truth: 225

 2:14 Whereunto 1519 3739 he called 2564 z5656 you 5209 by 1223 our 2257 gospel, 2098 to 1519 the obtaining 4047 of the glory 1391 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ. 5547

 2:15 Therefore, 686 3767 brethren, 80 stand fast, 4739 z5720 and 2532 hold 2902 z5720 the x3588 traditions 3862 which 3739 ye have been taught, 1321 z5681 whether 1535 by 1223 word, 3056 or 1535 1223 our 2257 epistle. 1992

 2:16 Now 1161 our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 himself, 846 and 2532 God, 2316 even 2532 our 2257 Father, 3962 which y3588 hath loved 25 z5660 us, 2248 and 2532 hath given 1325 z5631 [us] everlasting 166 consolation 3874 and 2532 good 18 hope 1680 through 1722 grace, 5485

 2:17 Comfort 3870 z5659 your 5216 hearts, 2588 and 2532 stablish 4741 z5659 you 5209 in 1722 every 3956 good 18 word 3056 and 2532 work. 2041
