2 Thessalonians 3

1 Ref As to the rest, pray ye, brethren, concerning us, that the word of the Lord may run and may be glorified, as also with you,

2 Ref and that we may be delivered from the unreasonable and evil men, for the faith `is' not of all;

3 Ref and stedfast is the Lord, who shall establish you, and shall guard `you' from the evil;

4 Ref and we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that the things that we command you ye both do and will do;

5 Ref and the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to the endurance of the Christ.

6 Ref And we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother disorderly walking, and not after the deliverance that ye received from us,

7 Ref for yourselves have known how it behoveth `you' to imitate us, because we did not act disorderly among you;

8 Ref nor for nought did we eat bread of any one, but in labour and in travail, night and day working, not to be chargeable to any of you;

9 Ref not because we have not authority, but that ourselves a pattern we might give to you, to imitate us;

10 Ref for even when we were with you, this we did command you, that if any one is not willing to work, neither let him eat,

11 Ref for we hear of certain walking among you disorderly, nothing working, but over working,

12 Ref and such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness working, their own bread they may eat;

13 Ref and ye, brethren, may ye not be weary doing well,

14 Ref and if any one do not obey our word through the letter, this one note ye, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed,

15 Ref and as an enemy count `him' not, but admonish ye `him' as a brother;

16 Ref and may the Lord of the peace Himself give to you the peace always in every way; the Lord `is' with you all!

17 Ref The salutation by the hand of me, Paul, which is a sign in every letter; thus I write;

18 Ref the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ `is' with you all! Amen.
