Notes on this text (2)

1 Σας παρακαλούμεν δε, αδελφοί, περί της παρουσίας του Κυρίου ημών Ιησού Χριστού και της εις αυτόν επισυνάξεως ημών, 2 να μη σαλευθήτε ταχέως από του φρονήματός σας, μηδέ να θορυβήσθε, μήτε διά πνεύματος μήτε διά λόγου μήτε δι' επιστολής ως γραφομένης υφ' ημών, ότι τάχα επλησίασεν ημέρα του Χριστού. 3 Ας μη σας εξαπατήση τις κατ' ουδένα τρόπον· διότι δεν θέλει ελθεί η ημέρα εκείνη, εάν δεν έλθη πρώτον η αποστασία και αποκαλυφθή ο άνθρωπος της αμαρτίας, ο υιός της απωλείας, 4 ο αντικείμενος και υπεραιρόμενος εναντίον εις πάντα λεγόμενον Θεόν ή σέβασμα, ώστε να καθήση εις τον ναόν του Θεού ως Θεός, αποδεικνύων εαυτόν ότι είναι Θεός. 5 Δεν ενθυμείσθε ότι ενώ ήμην έτι παρ' υμίν σας έλεγον ταύτα; 6 Και τώρα γνωρίζετε εκείνο, το οποίον κωλύει αυτόν, ώστε να αποκαλυφθή εν τω εαυτού καιρώ· 7 διότι το μυστήριον της ανομίας ήδη ενεργείται, μόνον έως να εκβληθή εκ μέσου ο κωλύων τώρα· 8 και τότε θέλει αποκαλυφθή ο άνομος, τον οποίον ο Κύριος θέλει απολέσει με το πνεύμα του στόματος αυτού και θέλει εξαφανίσει με την επιφάνειαν της παρουσίας αυτού· 9 όστις θέλει ελθεί κατ' ενέργειαν του Σατανά εν πάση δυνάμει και σημείοις και τέρασι ψεύδους 10 και εν πάση απάτη της αδικίας μεταξύ των απολλυμένων, διότι δεν εδέχθησαν την αγάπην της αληθείας διά να σωθώσι· 11 και διά τούτο θέλει πέμψει επ' αυτούς ο Θεός ενέργειαν πλάνης, ώστε να πιστεύσωσιν εις το ψεύδος, 12 διά να κατακριθώσι πάντες οι μη πιστεύσαντες εις την αλήθειαν, αλλ' ευαρεστηθέντες εις την αδικίαν. 13 Ημείς όμως οφείλομεν να ευχαριστώμεν πάντοτε τον Θεόν διά σας, αδελφοί ηγαπημένοι υπό του Κυρίου, ότι σας εξέλεξεν ο Θεός απ' αρχής εις σωτηρίαν διά του αγιασμού του Πνεύματος και της πίστεως της αληθείας, 14 εις τον οποίον σας εκάλεσε διά του ευαγγελίου ημών προς απόλαυσιν της δόξης του Κυρίου ημών Ιησού Χριστού. 15 Λοιπόν, αδελφοί, μένετε σταθεροί και κρατείτε τας παραδόσεις, τας οποίας εδιδάχθητε είτε διά λόγου είτε δι' επιστολής ημών. 16 Αυτός δε ο Κύριος ημών Ιησούς Χριστός και ο Θεός και Πατήρ ημών, όστις μας ηγάπησε και έδωκεν αιωνίαν παρηγορίαν και αγαθήν ελπίδα διά της χάριτος, 17 είθε να παρηγορήση τας καρδίας σας και να σας στηρίξη εις πάντα λόγον και έργον αγαθόν.

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).

  1. Commentary 2:6 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Second Thessalonians (Homily IV)

    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?

  2. Quotes verse 2:4 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book III, Chapter VI)

    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.

  3. Quotes verse 2:8 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XX, Chapters 10–13)

    … 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 …

  4. Quotes verse 2:9 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXXVI)

    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, …

  5. Quotes verse 2:15 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture V)

    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.
