2 Thessalonians 3

1 For the rest, brethren, pray for us, that the word of God may run, and may be glorified, even as among you;

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 importunate and evil men; for all men have not faith.

and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil people; for not all have faith.

3 But God is faithful, who will strengthen and keep you from evil.

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one.

4 And we have confidence concerning you in the Lord, that the things which we command, you both do, and will do.

We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.

5 And the Lord direct your hearts, in the charity of God, and the patience of Christ.

May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Meshikha.

6 And we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the tradition which they have received of us.

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who lives an undisciplined life, and not after the tradition which they received from us.

7 For yourselves know how you ought to imitate us: for we were not disorderly among you;

For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we were not undisciplined among you,

8 Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nothing, but in labour and in toil we worked night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you.

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 Not as if we had not power: but that we might give ourselves a pattern unto you, to imitate us.

not because we do not have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.

10 For also when we were with you, this we declared to you: that, if any man will not work, neither let him eat.

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "If anyone will not work, neither let him eat."

11 For we have heard there are some among you who walk disorderly, working not at all, but curiously meddling.

For we hear that some among you are living an undisciplined life, who do not work at all, but are busybodies.

12 Now we charge them that are such, and beseech them by the Lord Jesus Christ, that, working with silence, they would eat their own bread.

Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Yeshua Meshikha, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

13 But you, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

But you, brothers, do not be weary in doing well.

14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed:

If anyone does not obey our word in this letter, note that person, that you have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.

15 Yet do not esteem him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

Do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you everlasting peace in every place. The Lord be with you all.

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.

17 The salutation of Paul with my own hand; which is the sign in every epistle. So I write.

The greeting of me, Paul, 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.

The grace of our Lord Yeshua Meshikha be with you all.
