3:1 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also [it is] with you+;
3:2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for all do not have faith. 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you+, and guard you+ from the evil [one]. 3:4 And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you+, that you+ both do and will do the things which we command. 3:5 And may the Lord direct your+ hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ. 3:6 Now we command you+, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you+ withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks disorderly, and not after the tradition which they received of us. 3:7 For you+ yourselves know how you+ ought to imitate us: for we did not behave ourselves disorderly among you+; 3:8 neither did we eat bread for nothing at any man's hand, but in labor and travail, working night and day, that we might not burden any of you+: 3:9 not because we don't have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you+, that you+ should imitate us. 3:10 For even when we were with you+, this we commanded you+, If any will not work, neither let him eat. 3:11 For we hear of some who walk among you+ disorderly, who don't work at all, but are busybodies. 3:12 Now those who are such we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with quietness, and eat their own bread. 3:13 But you+, brothers, don't be weary in well-doing. 3:14 And if any man does not obey our word by this letter, note that man, that you+ do not associate with him, to the end that he may be ashamed. 3:15 And [yet] do not count as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother. 3:16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you+ peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with all of you+. 3:17 The salutation of me Paul with my own hand, which is the token in every letter: so I write. 3:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you+. |
