2 Thessalonians 3

Pray for Us

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you,

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,

and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith.

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

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.

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

And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, both that you do and will do the things we command you.

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

Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.

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

Warning Against Idleness

But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which [a]he received from us.

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.

For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you;

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

nor did we eat anyone’s bread [b]free of charge, but worked with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of 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.

not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us.

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

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.

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 we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies.

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

Now those who are such we command and [c]exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.

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

But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.

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

And if anyone does not obey our word in this [d]epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed.

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.

Yet do not count him as an enemy, but [e]admonish him as a brother.

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

Benediction

Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.

Benediction

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

The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is a sign in every [f]epistle; so I write.

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

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