2 Thessalonians 2:4 in Context — 2 Thessalonians 2

2 de ne pas vous laisser facilement ébranler dans votre bon sens, et de ne pas vous laisser troubler, soit par quelque inspiration, soit par quelque parole, ou par quelque lettre qu’on dirait venir de nous, comme si le jour du Seigneur était déjà là.

3 Que personne ne vous séduise d’aucune manière; car il faut que l’apostasie soit arrivée auparavant, et qu’on ait vu paraître l’homme du péché, le fils de la perdition,

4 l’adversaire qui s’élève au-dessus de tout ce qu’on appelle Dieu ou de ce qu’on adore, jusqu’à s’asseoir dans le temple de Dieu, se proclamant lui-même Dieu.

5 Ne vous souvenez-vous pas que je vous disais ces choses, lorsque j’étais encore chez vous?

6 Et maintenant vous savez ce qui le retient, afin qu’il ne paraisse qu’en son temps.
