2 Thessalonians 3

1 He craveth their prayers for himself, 3 testifieth what confidence he hath in them, 5 maketh request to God in their behalf, 6 giveth them divers precepts, especially to shun idleness, and ill company, 16 and last of all concludeth with prayer and salutation.

 3:1 ¶ For the rest, brethren, be praying for us,—that, the word of the Lord, may be running, and gaining glory, according as [it did] even with you;

 3:2 And that we may be rescued from the presuming and wicked men; for, not all, hold the faith.

 3:3 Faithful, is the Lord,—who will confirm you, and guard you from the wicked one:

 3:4 We are persuaded, however, in the Lord, as touching you,—that, what things we give in charge, Ye [both] are doing and will do;—

 3:5 But may, the Lord, guide your hearts into the love of God, and into the endurance of the Christ.

 3:6 ¶ Howbeit, we charge you, brethren,—that, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, ye be withdrawing yourselves from every brother—who, in a disorderly way, doth walk, and not according to the instruction which ye received from us.

 3:7 For, ye yourselves, know, how needful it is to be imitating us, in that we were not disorderly among you,

 3:8 Nor, as a free-gift, did eat, bread, from anyone, but, with toil and hardship, night and day, working,—that we might not burden any of you;—

 3:9 Not because we have not authority, but that, ourselves, as an ensample, we might hold forth unto you,—to the end ye might he imitating us.

 3:10 For, even when we were with you, this, were we giving in charge unto you,—that, if any will not work, neither let him eat!

 3:11 We hear, in fact, of some who are walking among you in a disorderly way, at nothing, working, yet too busily working!

 3:12 Now, such as these, we charge and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ,—that, with quietness, working, their own bread, they be eating.

 3:13 But, ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing;—

 3:14 And, if anyone be not giving ear unto our word through means of this letter, on this one, set a mark—not to be mixing yourselves up with him,—that he may be reproved;

 3:15 And, not as an enemy, be esteeming him, but be admonishing him, as a brother.

 3:16 ¶ But may, the Lord of peace himself, give you peace, always, in every way. The Lord, be with you all.

 3:17 The salutation of Paul—with my own hand, which is a sign in every letter: thus, I write.

 3:18 The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with you all.
