2 Thessalonians 3
1 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, as also with you,
το λοιπον προσευχεσθε αδελφοι περι ημων ινα ο λογος του κυριου τρεχη και δοξαζηται καθως και προς υμας
2 and that we may be delivered from evil and malignant men; for not all have faith.
και ινα ρυσθωμεν απο των ατοπων και πονηρων ανθρωπων ου γαρ παντων η πιστις
3 But the Lord is faithful, who will strengthen you and guard you from the malignant one.
πιστος δε εστιν ο κυριος ος στηριξει υμας και φυλαξει απο του πονηρου
4 We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.
πεποιθαμεν δε εν κυριω εφ υμας οτι α παραγγελλομεν υμιν και ποιειτε και ποιησετε
5 Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the perseverance of Christ.
ο δε κυριος κατευθυναι υμων τας καρδιας εις την αγαπην του θεου και εις υπομονην του χριστου
6 Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who behaves irresponsibly and not according to the tradition that they received from us.
παραγγελλομεν δε υμιν αδελφοι εν ονοματι του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου στελλεσθαι υμας απο παντος αδελφου ατακτως περιπατουντος και μη κατα την παραδοσιν ην παρελαβεν παρ ημων
7 For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we did not behave irresponsibly among you;
αυτοι γαρ οιδατε πως δει μιμεισθαι ημας οτι ουκ ητακτησαμεν εν υμιν
8 neither did we eat anyone's bread without paying; rather we worked night and day, with difficulty and hardship, so as not to be a burden to any of you;
ουδε δωρεαν αρτον εφαγομεν παρα τινος αλλ εν κοπω και μοχθω νυκτα και ημεραν εργαζομενοι προς το μη επιβαρησαι τινα υμων
9 not because we do not have the right, but in order to offer ourselves to you as a model for you to imitate.
ουχ οτι ουκ εχομεν εξουσιαν αλλ ινα εαυτους τυπον δωμεν υμιν εις το μιμεισθαι ημας
10 Yes, because when we were with you we gave you this command: “If anyone does not want to work, neither let him eat!”
και γαρ οτε ημεν προς υμας τουτο παρηγγελλομεν υμιν οτι ει τις ου θελει εργαζεσθαι μηδε εσθιετω
11 Yet we hear that some among you are behaving irresponsibly; not working, just meddling.
ακουομεν γαρ τινας περιπατουντας εν υμιν ατακτως μηδεν εργαζομενους αλλα περιεργαζομενους
12 Now to such individuals we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.
τοις δε τοιουτοις παραγγελλομεν και παρακαλουμεν δια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου ινα μετα ησυχιας εργαζομενοι τον εαυτων αρτον εσθιωσιν
13 But as for you, brothers, do not lose heart in well doing.
υμεις δε αδελφοι μη εκκακησητε καλοποιουντες
14 If anyone does not obey our word in this letter, take note of him and do not associate with him, that he may be shamed;
ει δε τις ουχ υπακουει τω λογω ημων δια της επιστολης τουτον σημειουσθε και μη συναναμιγνυσθε αυτω ινα εντραπη
15 yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
και μη ως εχθρον ηγεισθε αλλα νουθετειτε ως αδελφον
16 Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you the peace during every situation, in every way. The Lord be with you all.
αυτος δε ο κυριος της ειρηνης δωη υμιν την ειρηνην δια παντος εν παντι τροπω ο κυριος μετα παντων υμων
17 The greeting of Paul, with my own hand, which is the ‘trademark’ in every letter that I write.
ο ασπασμος τη εμη χειρι παυλου ο εστιν σημειον εν παση επιστολη ουτως γραφω
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
η χαρις του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου μετα παντων υμων αμην [προς θεσσαλονικεις δευτερα εγραφη απο αθηνων]
