Version of 1611
2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, 3-14
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 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 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 shall consume
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 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 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 you by our gospel, to the obtaining
of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Holy Bible -- King James Version
Do you find it more difficult to share Jesus with some than with others? Imagine not being able to adequately share the good news of salvation with, say, those under 25 years of age, or drunkards, or individuals either wealthy or poor. How about the blind, or deaf? Don't dwell on the thought too long; God has given all of us abilities unique to each, so that there is always some way to tell of His love to someone who needs to hear of it. And please remember this: that even those who have many years of experience following Him love to hear the Story, too! Tell it everywhere as Jesus directed in Matthew 28:19-20, proving yourself a workman, "worthy of his calling." Encourage someone in Jesus today.
