2 Thessalonians 3 (WEBP)

[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.

Young’s Literal Translation

2 Thessalonians 3 (YLT)

[1] 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] and that we may be delivered from the unreasonable and evil men, for the faith is not of all;
[3] and stedfast is the Lord, who shall establish you, and shall guard you from the evil;
[4] and we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that the things that we command you ye both do and will do;
[5] and the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to the endurance of the Christ.
[6] 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] for yourselves have known how it behoveth you to imitate us, because we did not act disorderly among you;
[8] 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] not because we have not authority, but that ourselves a pattern we might give to you, to imitate us;
[10] 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] for we hear of certain walking among you disorderly, nothing working, but over working,
[12] and such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness working, their own bread they may eat;
[13] and ye, brethren, may ye not be weary doing well,
[14] 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] and as an enemy count him not, but admonish ye him as a brother;
[16] and may the Lord of the peace Himself give to you the peace always in every way; the Lord is with you all!
[17] The salutation by the hand of me, Paul, which is a sign in every letter; thus I write;
[18] the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you all! Amen.
