2 Thessalonians 2:7

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work . Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way .

For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work : only he who now letteth will let , until he be taken out of the way.
