And now ye know what withholdeth: even that he might be uttered at his time.
¶ For the wrath of God of heaven appeareth against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men which withhold the truth in unrighteousness,
Let no man deceive you by any means, for the Lord cometh not, except there come a departing first, and that that sinful man be opened, the son of perdition
For already the mystery of iniquity worketh. Only he that holdeth, let him now hold, until it be taken out of the way,
and then shall that wicked be uttered, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the appearance of his coming,
