2 Thessalonians 2

Now, brothers, concerning the coming of our Lord 'Isa al-Masih, and our gathering together to him, we ask you ²not to be quickly shaken in your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, saying that the day of al-Masih had come. ³Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the departure comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction, ⁴he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the temple of Allah, setting himself up as Allah. ⁵Don't you remember that, when I was still with you, I told you these things? ⁶Now you know what is restraining him, to the end that he may be revealed in his own season. ⁷For the mystery of lawlessness already works. Only there is one who restrains now, until he is taken out of the way. ⁸Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will kill with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nothing by the brightness of his coming; ⁹even he whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, ¹⁰and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn't receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹Because of this, Allah sends them a working of error, that they should believe a lie; ¹²that they all might be judged who didn't believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. ¹³But we are bound to always give thanks to Allah for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because Allah chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth; ¹⁴to which he called you through our Injil, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord 'Isa al-Masih. ¹⁵So then, brothers, stand firm, and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word, or by letter.

¹⁶Now our Lord 'Isa al-Masih himself, and Allah our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, ¹⁷comfort your hearts and establish you in every good work and word.
