2 Thessalonians 2

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our
B ⟨the⟩
 Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ
ℵBA ⟨the Lord⟩
 is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin
ℵB ⟨iniquity⟩
 be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God
ℵBA omit
 sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord
ℵA ⟨Lord Jesus⟩
 shall consume
ℵBA ⟨kill⟩
 with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in
ℵBA ⟨to⟩
 them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send
ℵBA ⟨sendeth⟩
 them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called
ℵ ⟨also called⟩
 you
BA ⟨us⟩
 by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ
B ⟨Christ Jesus⟩
 himself, and God, even
ℵB omit
 our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you
ℵBA ⟨them⟩
 in every good word and work
ℵBA ⟨work and word⟩
.

About the Pointing

The text of the Coverdale Psalter follows the 1928 American Book of Common Prayer. The pointing, suitably adapted, is taken from Charles Macpherson, Edward C. Bairstow, and Percy C. Buck, The English Psalter (Novello & Co., 1925).
