2 Thessalonians 2:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ Don't you remember? I told you all this while I was with you. ⁶ Yet there is something that keeps this from happening now, and you know what it is. At the proper time, then, the Wicked One will appear. ⁷ The Mysterious Wickedness is already at work, but what is going to happen will not happen until the one who holds it back is taken out of the way.
