[1] Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you, [2] and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have faith. [3] But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. [4] We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command. [5] May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and into the perseverance of Christ. [6] Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks in rebellion and not after the tradition which they received from us. [7] For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we didn’t behave ourselves rebelliously among you, [8] neither did we eat bread from anyone’s hand without paying for it, but in labor and travail worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you. [9] This was not because we don’t have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us. [10] For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: “If anyone is not willing to work, don’t let him eat.” [11] For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don’t work at all, but are busybodies. [12] Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with quietness and eat their own bread. [13] But you, brothers, don’t be weary in doing what is right. [14] If any man doesn’t obey our word in this letter, note that man and have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed. [15] Don’t count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother. [16] Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all. [17] I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter. This is how I write. [18] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

[1] Finally, G3063 brethren, G80 pray G4336 for G4012 us, G2257 that G2443 the G3588 word G3056 of the G3588 Lord G2962 may have G5143 free§ course, G5143 and G2532 be glorified, G1392 even G2532 as G2531 it is with G4314 you: G5209 [2] and G2532 that G2443 we may be delivered G4506 from G575 unreasonable G824§ and G2532 wicked G4190 men: G444 for G1063 all G3956 men have not G3756 faith. G4102 [3] But G1161 the G3588 Lord G2962 is G2076 faithful, G4103 who G3739 shall stablish G4741 you, G5209 and G2532 keep G5442 you from G575 evil. G4190 [4] And G1161 we have confidence G3982 in G1722 the Lord G2962 touching G1909 you, G5209 that G3754 ye G4160 both G2532 do G4160 and G2532 will do G4160 the things which G3739 we command G3853 you. G5213 [5] And G1161 the G3588 Lord G2962 direct G2720 your G5216 hearts G2588 into G1519 the G3588 love G26 of God, G2316 and G2532 into G1519 the G3588 patient waiting G5281 for Christ. G5547§ [6] Now G1161 we command G3853 you, G5213 brethren, G80 in G1722 the name G3686 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 that ye G5209 withdraw yourselves G4724 from G575 every G3956 brother G80 that walketh G4043 disorderly, G814 and G2532 not G3361 after G2596 the G3588 tradition G3862 which G3739 he received G3880 of G3844 us. G2257 [7] For G1063 yourselves G846 know G1492 how G4459 ye ought G1163 to follow G3401 us: G2248 for G3754 we behaved G812 not G3756 ourselves disorderly G812 among G1722 you; G5213 [8] neither G3761 did we eat G5315 any man’s G3844 G5100 bread G740 for nought; G1432 but G235 wrought G2038 with G1722 labour G2873 and G2532 travail G3449 night G3571 and G2532 day, G2250 that G4314 we might G1912 not G3361 be chargeable G1912 to any G5100 of you: G5216 [9] not G3756 because G3754 we have G2192 not G3756 power, G1849 but G235 to G2443 make G1325 ourselves G1438 an ensample G5179 unto you G5213 to G1519 follow G3401 us. G2248 [10] For G1063 even G2532 when G3753 we were G2258 with G4314 you, G5209 this G5124 we commanded G3853 you, G5213 that G3754 if G1487 any G5100 would G2309 not G3756 work, G2038 neither G3366 should he eat. G2068 [11] For G1063 we hear G191 that there are some G5100 which walk G4043 among G1722 you G5213 disorderly, G814 working G2038 not at all, G3367 but G235 are busybodies. G4020 [12] Now G1161 them G3588 that are such G5108 we command G3853 and G2532 exhort G3870 by G1223 our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 that G2443 with G3326 quietness G2271 they work, G2038 and eat G2068 their own G1438 bread. G740 [13] But G1161 ye, G5210 brethren, G80 be G1573 not G3361 weary G1573§ in well doing. G2569 [14] And G1161 if G1487 any man G5100 obey G5219 not G3756 our G2257 word G3056 by G1223 this G3588 epistle, G1992 note G4593 that man, G5126 and G2532 have G4874 no G3361 company with G4874 him, G846 that G2443 he may be ashamed. G1788 [15] Yet G2532 count G2233 him not G3361 as G5613 an enemy, G2190 but G235 admonish G3560 him as G5613 a brother. G80 [16] Now G1161 the G3588 Lord G2962 of peace G1515 himself G846 give G1325 you G5213 peace G1515 always G1223 G3956 by G1722 all G3956 means. G5158 The G3588 Lord G2962 be with G3326 you G5216 all. G3956 [17] The G3588 salutation G783 of Paul G3972 with mine own G1699 hand, G5495 which G3739 is G2076 the token G4592 in G1722 every G3956 epistle: G1992 so G3779 I write. G1125 [18] The G3588 grace G5485 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 be with G3326 you G5216 all. G3956 Amen. G281
The second G1208 epistle to G4314 the Thessalonians G2331 was written G1125 from G575 Athens. G116
