< 2 Thessalonians 3 >
1 For the rest, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also with you;
Henceforth, my brethren, pray for us, that the word of our Lord may run and be glorified in every place, as among you.
2 and that we may be delivered from bad and evil men, for faith [is] not [the portion] of all.
And that we may be delivered from wicked men and perverse; for every man hath not faith.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you and keep [you] from evil.
But the Lord is faithful, who will keep you and deliver you from evil.
4 But we trust in the Lord as to you, that the things which we enjoin, ye both do and will do.
But we confide concerning you in our Lord, that what we have commanded you, you have done,
5 But the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of the Christ.
and also are doing. And our Lord will direct your hearts to the love of Aloha, and to the patience of the Meshiha.
6 Now we enjoin you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw from every brother walking disorderly and not according to the instruction which he received from us.
But we command you, my brethren, in the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that you remove from every brother who walketh wickedly, and not according to the precepts which he hath received from us.
7 For ye know yourselves how ye ought to imitate us, because we have not walked disorderly among you;
For you know how it behoveth to imitate us who walked not wickedly among you.
8 nor have we eaten bread from any one without cost; but in toil and hardship working night and day not to be chargeable to any one of you:
Neither did we eat bread for nothing from any one of you; but with labour and weariness by night and by day we wrought, that upon no one of you we might be burdensome.
9 not that we have not the right, but that we might give ourselves as an example to you, in order to your imitating us.
Not because we had not power, but because in ourselves we would give you an example, that you may imitate us.
10 For also when we were with you we enjoined you this, that if any man does not like to work, neither let him eat.
For while we were with you, this we commanded you, that every one who willeth not to work, neither should he eat.
11 For we hear that [there are] some walking among you disorderly, not working at all, but busybodies.
For we hear that there are some among you who walk wickedly, and nothing work, unless vain things.
12 Now such we enjoin and exhort in [the] Lord Jesus Christ, that working quietly they eat their own bread.
But these we command, and entreat of them by our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, that with quietness they work, and eat their (own) bread.
13 But ye, brethren, do not faint in well-doing.
But you, my brethren, be not weary in doing what is good.
14 But if any one obey not our word by the letter, mark that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed of himself;
And if any man hearken not to these our words in the epistle, let this be separate from you, and be not mixed with him, that he be shamed.
15 and do not esteem him as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother.
Yet, not as an enemy hold him, but admonish him as a brother.
16 But the Lord of peace himself give you peace continually in every way. The Lord [be] with you all.
But the Lord of peace himself will give you peace always, in every thing. Our Lord be with you all.
17 The salutation by the hand of me, Paul, which is [the] mark in every letter; so I write.
Salutation, by the writing of my hand, I, PAULOS, have written; which is the sign in all my epistles, so I write.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all.
The grace of Jeshu Meshiha be with you all, my brethren. Amen.
