[a]And then shall [b]that wicked man be revealed, (A)whom the Lord shall [c]consume with the [d]Spirit of his mouth, and shall abolish with the brightness of his coming,

[e]Even him whose coming is by the effectual working of Satan, with all power, and signs, and [f]lying wonders,

10 And in all deceivableness of unrighteousness, among them that perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
