2 Thessalonians 2:4 in Context — 2 Thessalonians 2

2 Que vós não vos abaleis facilmente em [vosso] entendimento, e não [vos] perturbeis, nem por espírito, nem por palavra, nem por carta como que [escrita] por nós, como se o dia de Cristo [já] estivesse perto.

3 Ninguém vos engane em maneira nenhuma; porque [não virá esse dia] sem que primeiro venha a apostasia, e se manifeste o homem do pecado, o filho da perdição.

4 O qual se opõe e se levanta sobre tudo o que se chama Deus, ou [sobre] tudo que é adorado; por isso ele se sentará no templo de Deus, como [se fosse] Deus, fazendo-se parecer Deus.

5 Não vos lembrais, que enquanto ainda estava convosco, eu vos dizia estas coisas?

6 E agora sabeis o que o detém, para que a seu próprio tempo seja manifestado.
