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.

7 Porque o mistério da injustiça já opera; só [há] aquele que agora o detém, até que seja [tirado] do meio.

8 E então será manifestado aquele injusto, ao qual o Senhor destruirá, pelo sopro de sua boca, e o aniquilará pelo aparecimento de sua vinda;

9 [Aquele injusto] cuja vinda é conforme o agir de Satanás, com todo poder, e sinais, e milagres falsos.
