2 Thessalonians 2:7-10

7 For 1the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only 2he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.
8 Then that lawless one 3will be revealed whom the Lord will slay 4with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the 5appearance of His coming;
9 that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of 6Satan, with all power and 7signs and false wonders,
10 and with all the deception of wickedness for 8those who perish, because * they did not receive the love of 9the truth so as to be saved.
