2 Thessalonians 2:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: [a]for that day shall not come, except there come a departing first, and that [b]that man of sin be disclosed, even the son of perdition.
4 Which is an adversary, and [c]exalteth himself against all that is called God, or that is worshipped: [d]so that he doth sit as God in the Temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
5 [e]Remember ye not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
