I'm first hearing of this bible. Here is the translation of 2Thessalonians2:
1But there is one entreaty we would make of you, brethren, as you look forward to the time when our Lord Jesus Christ will come, and gather us in to himself.
2Do not be terrified out of your senses all at once, and thrown into confusion, by any spiritual utterance, any message or letter purporting to come from us, which suggests that the day of the Lord is close at hand.
3Do not let anyone find the means of leading you astray. The apostasy must come first; the champion of wickedness must appear first, destined to inherit perdition.
4This is the rebel who is to lift up his head above every divine name, above all that men hold in reverence, till at last he enthrones himself in God’s temple, and proclaims himself as God.
5Do not you remember my telling you of this, before I left your company?
6At present there is a power (you know what I mean) which holds him in check, so that he may not shew himself before the time appointed to him;
7meanwhile, the conspiracy of revolt is already at work; only, he who checks it now will be able to check it, until he is removed from the enemy’s path.
8Then it is that the rebel will shew himself; and the Lord Jesus will destroy him with the breath of his mouth, overwhelming him with the brightness of his presence.
9He will come, when he comes, with all Satan’s influence to aid him; there will be no lack of power, of counterfeit signs and wonders;
10and his wickedness will deceive the souls that are doomed, to punish them for refusing that fellowship in the truth which would have saved them. That is why God is letting loose among them a deceiving influence, so that they give credit to falsehood;
11he will single out for judgement all those who refused credence to the truth, and took their pleasure in wrong-doing.
12We must always give thanks in your name, brethren whom the Lord has so favoured. God has picked you out as the first-fruits in the harvest of salvation, by sanctifying your spirits and convincing you of his truth;
13he has called you, through our preaching, to attain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
14Stand firm, then, brethren, and hold by the traditions you have learned, in word or in writing, from us.
15So may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, so may God, our Father, who has shewn such love to us, giving us unfailing comfort and welcome hope through his grace,
16encourage your hearts, and confirm you in every right habit of action and speech.
