2 Thessalonians 3

Pray for Us

Finally, brothers,a pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored,b as happened among you,

Paul's Request for Prayer

For the rest, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also with you;

and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For not all have faith.

and that we may be delivered from bad and evil men, for faith [is] not [the portion] of all.

But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.c

But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you and keep [you] from evil.

And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things that we command.

But we trust in the Lord as to you, that the things which we enjoin, ye both do and will do.

May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.

But the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of the Christ.

Warning Against Idleness

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us.

Warning against Idleness

Now we enjoin you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw from every brother walking disorderly and not according to the instruction which he received from us.

For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not idle when we were with you,

For ye know yourselves how ye ought to imitate us, because we have not walked disorderly among you;

nor did we eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but with toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you.

nor have we eaten bread from any one without cost; but in toil and hardship working night and day not to be chargeable to any one of you:

It was not because we do not have that right, but to give you in ourselves an example to imitate.

not that we have not the right, but that we might give ourselves as an example to you, in order to your imitating us.

For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.

For also when we were with you we enjoined you this, that if any man does not like to work, neither let him eat.

For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies.

For we hear that [there are] some walking among you disorderly, not working at all, but busybodies.

Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.d

Now such we enjoin and exhort in [the] Lord Jesus Christ, that working quietly they eat their own bread.

As for you, brothers, do not grow weary in doing good.

But *ye*, brethren, do not faint in well-doing.

If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of that person, and have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed.

But if any one obey not our word by the letter, mark that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed of himself;

Do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.

and do not esteem him as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother.

Benediction

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.

Paul's Final Greetings

But the Lord of peace himself give you peace continually in every way. The Lord [be] with you all.

I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. This is the sign of genuineness in every letter of mine; it is the way I write.

The salutation by the hand of me, Paul, which is [the] mark in every letter; so I write.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all.
