NASB | 2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness [rebellion against divine authority and the coming reign of lawlessness] is already at work; [but it is restrained] only until he who now restrains it is taken out of the way. |
Subject: Why is 2 Thess. 2:7 mis-translated? |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, I have to clarify the way that I interpret 2 Thessalonians 2:7. I capitalize the "One who now restrains" but put in lower case the "he is taken out of the way". So when you talk of the "One who will be removed" we are not in agreement. In other words, I agree with Taleb that "it [he] comes out of the midst". Concerning the mystery of lawlessness; The mystery is an it and the lawless one is a he. From the heart, Ray |
