1 Али вас молимо, браћо, за долазак Господа нашег Исуса Христа, и за наш састанак у Њему, 2 да се не дате ласно покренути од ума, нити да се плашите, ни духом ни речју, ни посланицом, као да је од нас послана, да је већ настао дан Христов. 3 Да вас нико не превари никаквим начином; јер неће доћи док не дође најпре отпад, и не покаже се човек безакоња, син погибли, 4 који се противи и подиже више свега што се зове Бог или се поштује, тако да ће он сести у цркви Божјој као Бог показујући себе да је Бог. 5 Не памтите ли да сам вам ово казивао још кад сам код вас био? 6 И сад знате шта задржава да се не јави у своје време. 7 Јер се већ ради тајна безакоња, само док се уклони онај који сад задржава. 8 Па ће се онда јавити безаконик, ког ће Господ Исус убити духом уста својих, и искоренити светлошћу доласка свог; 9 ког је долазак по чињењу сотонином са сваком силом, и знацима и лажним чудесима, 10 и са сваком преваром неправде међу онима који гину: јер љубави истине не примише, да би се спасли. 11 И зато ће им Бог послати силу преваре, да верују лажи; 12 да приме суд сви који не вероваше истини, него волеше неправду. 13 А ми смо дужни свагда захваљивати Богу за вас, браћо љубазна Господу! Што вас је Бог од почетка изабрао за спасење у светињи Духа и вери истине. 14 У које вас дозва јеванђељем нашим, да добијете славу Господа нашег Исуса Христа. 15 Тако дакле, браћо, стојте и држите уредбе којима се научисте или речју или из посланице наше. 16 А сам Господ наш Исус Христос, и Бог и Отац наш, коме омилесмо и даде нам утеху вечну и наду добру у благодати, 17 да утеши срца ваша и да вас утврди у свакој речи и делу добром.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
One may naturally enquire, what is that which withholdeth, and after that would know, why Paul expresses it so obscurely. What then is it that withholdeth, that is, hindereth him from being revealed? Some indeed say, the grace of the Spirit, but others the Roman empire, to whom I most of all accede. Wherefore?

And again, speaking of Antichrist, he says, "who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped." He points out here those who are called gods, by such as know not God, that is, idols.
… fire coming down out of heaven and consuming them, John meant that blow wherewith Christ in His coming is to strike those persecutors of the Church whom He shall then find alive upon earth, when He shall kill Antichrist with the breath of His mouth, then even this is not the last judgment of the wicked; but the last judgment …

Having called him "man of sin," and "son of perdition," He added, "Whose coming is after the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders; and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish." And see how He secures them; "Go not forth into the deserts, enter not into the secret chambers." He did not say, …

And just as the mustard seed in one small grain contains many branches, so also this Faith has embraced in few words all the knowledge of godliness in the Old and New Testaments. Take heed then, brethren, and hold fast the traditions which ye now receive, and write them an the table of your heart.
