2 Thessalonians 3
1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have [free] course, and be glorified, even as [it is] with you:
Britheren, fro hennus forward preye ye for vs, that the word of God renne, and be clarified, as it is anentis you;
2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all [men] have not faith.
and that we be delyuered fro noyous and yuele men; for feith is not of alle men.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep [you] from evil.
But the Lord is trewe, that schal conferme you, and schal kepe fro yuel.
4 And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
And, britheren, we trusten of you in the Lord, for what euere thingis we comaunden to you, bothe ye don and schulen do.
5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
And the Lord dresse youre hertis, in the charite of God, and in the pacience of Crist.
6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
But, britheren, we denouncen to you in the name of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, that ye withdrawe you from ech brother that wandrith out of ordre, and not aftir the techyng, that thei resseyueden of vs.
7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
For `ye silf witen, hou it bihoueth to sue vs. For we weren not vnpesible among you,
8 Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
nethir with outen oure owne trauel we eeten breed of ony man, but in trauel and werynesse worchiden niyt and dai, that we greuyden noon of you.
9 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
Not as we hadden not power, but that we schulden yyue vs silf ensaumple to you to sue vs.
10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
For also whanne we weren among you, we denounsiden this thing to you, that if ony man wole not worche, nethir ete he.
11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
For we han herd that summe among you goon in reste, and no thing worchen, but don curiousli.
12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
But we denouncen to hem that ben suche men, and bisechen in the Lord Jhesu Crist, that thei worchen with silence, and ete her owne breed.
13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
But nyle ye, britheren, faile wel doynge.
14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
That if ony man obeie not to oure word bi epistle, marke ye him, and comyne ye not with hym, that he be schamed;
15 Yet count [him] not as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother.
and nyle ye gesse hym as an enemye, but repreue ye hym as a brother. And God hym silf of pees yyue to you euerlastinge pees in al place.
16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord [be] with you all.
The Lord be with `you alle.
17 The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.
My salutacioun bi the hoond of Poul; which signe in ech epistle Y write thus.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.
The grace of oure Lord Jhesu Crist be with `alle you. Amen.
