SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:1–12: The Wicked Person will come before the Lord Jesus returns

Some Christians in Thessalonica thought that Paul had said that the Lord Jesus Christ had already returned. But he had not said this. So, in this section, Paul reminded them about what he had taught them when he was with them: that before the Lord Jesus returned, a leader whom Paul called “the man of lawlessness” would appear. This person would be against every religion and would oppose God’s laws. But he would deceive only those who had rejected God’s message about Christ. On the day when Christ returns, he will destroy that person and his power.

Paul did not list everything in this section (2:1–12) in the order in which the events will happen. Rather, in 2:1–4 he wrote a general sequence of events. Then in 2:5 he introduced what he had previously taught about these events. Then in 2:6–12 he taught specifically about the rebellion, about the wicked person (“man of lawlessness”) who would oppose God’s laws, and about how Jesus Christ would return to destroy him.

Paragraph 2:5–12

In this paragraph Paul wrote that, at exactly the right time, the man of lawlessness will appear. He will have power to perform miracles that will deceive those who themselves oppose the truth and love evil.

2:5

Do you not remember that I told you these things while I was still with you?

Do you not remember that I told you these things while I was still with you?: Paul used this rhetorical question not because he simply wanted to remind the Thessalonians about something. Rather he wanted to rebuke them gently. If you do not use rhetorical questions as a rebuke in your language, you will have to re-word this verse as a statement or a command. For example:

Do not forget that I told you these things while I was with you.

I am sure that you remember that I told you these things while I was with you.

these things: This phrase refers back to the events in 2:1–4:

  1. People will rebel against God and his laws,

  2. the man of lawlessness will appear,

  3. the Lord Jesus will return,

  4. God will gather the believers together to meet the Lord Jesus.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὐ μνημονεύετε ὅτι, ἔτι ὢν πρὸς ὑμᾶς, ταῦτα ἔλεγον ὑμῖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οὒ μνημονεύετε ὅτι ἔτι ὤν πρός ὑμᾶς ταῦτα ἔλεγον ὑμῖν)

Paul is not asking for information here, but is using the question form to remind the Thessalonians of what he taught when he was with them previously. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. See the UST.

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ταῦτα

these_‹things›

Here, these things refers to the topics that Paul mentioned in [verses 3](../02/03.md) and 4, including the rebellion against God, the man of lawlessness, and the return of Jesus on the day of the Lord.
