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: Greetings Ray! Bummer! I thought that we had finally agreed on a capitalization! ;-) Your view is definitely not impossible, but I do think it more likely that the phrase 'until removed' more likely refers to the subject of the clause (He who restrains) than to the 'mystery' of the previous clause.
