2 Thessalonians 2
- 1 Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him;
- 2 to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at hand;
- 3 let no man beguile you in any wise: for it will not be, except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,
- 4 he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, setting himself forth as God.
- 5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
- 6 And now ye know that which restraineth, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season.
- 7 For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only there is one that restraineth now, until he be taken out of the way.
- 8 And then shall be revealed the lawless one, whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming;
- 9 even he, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
- 10 and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
- 11 And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie:
- 12 that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
- 13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, for that God chose you from the beginning unto salvation in sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
- 14 whereunto he called you through our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- 15 So then, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye were taught, whether by word, or by epistle of ours.
- 16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,
- 17 comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word.

American Standard Version (asv - 2)
2021-02-18English (en)
The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.
The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.
While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.
Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.- Encoding: UTF-8
