Verse 7
mystery . App-193 .
iniquity = lawlessness. App-128 .
work = work actively, as 1 Thessalonians 2:13 .
letteth = holds fast. Greek. katecho, as 2 Thessalonians 2:6 . Supply the Ellipsis by " there is one who holds fast", instead of by repeating the verb " will let ". But katecho is a transitive verb, and an object must be supplied too. See all the occurances: 2 Thessalonians 2:6 . If the subject be Satan, the object must be his position in the heavenlies (Ephesians 6:12 ), from which he will be ejected by Michael (Revelation 12:7-9 ).
out of the way = out of (Greek. ek) the midst. Compare the same expression in Acts 17:33 ; Acts 23:10 . 1Co 5:2 . 2 Corinthians 6:17 . Colossians 2:14 .
