And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the

Lord (Jesus) will kill with the breath of his mouth and

render powerless by the manifestation of his coming,

the one whose coming springs from the power of Satan

in every mighty deed and in signs and wonders that lie,

and in every wicked deceit for those who are perishing

because they have not accepted the love of truth so that

they may be saved. Therefore, God is sending them a

deceiving power so that they may believe the lie, that all

wrongdoing may be condemned.
