2 Thessalonians 3

CHAPTER 3 Paul's Exhortation

1 For the rest pray brethren, for us, that the word of the Lord should run and should be glorified, as also to you; 2 and that we should be rescued from the unnatural and wicked men; [⁴is not ¹for ⁵of all ²the ³belief]. 3 But trustworthy is the Lord, who will support you, and will guard you from the evil. 4 But we rely in the Lord as to you, that in which we exhort unto you, both you are doing and will do. 5 And may the Lord straighten out your hearts in the love of God, and in the endurance of the Christ. 6 And we exhort you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, for you to be in readiness from every brother [²disorderly ¹walking], and not according to the tradition which he took to himself from us. 7 For you yourselves know how it is necessary to imitate us; for we have not acted disorderly among you; 8 nor freely [²bread ¹did we eat] from anyone, but in toil and trouble, night and day, working so as to not overburden any of you. 9 Not that we do not have authority, but that [²ourselves ³as an impression ¹we should give] to you for the imitating us. 10 For also when we were with you, we exhorted this unto you, that if any does not want to work, neither let him eat! 11 For we hear some are walking among you disorderly, not working, but intermeddling. 12 And to such we exhort and appeal by our Lord Jesus Christ, that [²with ³tranquility ¹working], [²their own ³bread ¹they should eat]. 13 But you, brethren, you should not tire doing good. 14 And if anyone does not obey our word by this letter, signify and do not intermingle with him, that he should be ashamed! 15 but not as an enemy esteem him, but admonish him as a brother! 16 [⁶himself ¹And ³the ⁴Lord ⁵of peace ²may] give to you peace continually in every manner. The Lord be with all of you. 17 The greeting by my hand, Paul, which is a sign in every letter; so I write. 18 The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you. Amen.
