< 2 Thessalonians 3 >
1 As to the rest, pray, brothers, concerning us, that the word of the LORD may run and may be glorified, as also with you,
Τὸ λοιπόν, προσεύχεσθε, ἀδελφοί, περὶ ἡμῶν, ἵνα ὁ λόγος τοῦ κυρίου τρέχῃ καὶ δοξάζηται καθὼς καὶ πρὸς ὑμᾶς
2 and that we may be delivered from the unreasonable and evil men, for not all [are] of the faith;
καὶ ἵνα ῥυσθῶμεν ἀπὸ τῶν ἀτόπων καὶ πονηρῶν ἀνθρώπων· οὐ γὰρ πάντων ἡ πίστις.
3 but faithful is the LORD who will establish you, and will guard [you] from the evil [one];
πιστὸς δέ ἐστιν ὁ κύριος, ὃς στηρίξει ὑμᾶς καὶ φυλάξει ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ.
4 and we now have confidence in the LORD, that which we command you both do and will do;
πεποίθαμεν δὲ ἐν κυρίῳ ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς ὅτι ἃ παραγγέλλομεν (ὑμῖν *k*) καὶ ποιεῖτε καὶ ποιήσετε.
5 and the LORD direct your hearts to the love of God, and to the endurance of the Christ.
ὁ δὲ κύριος κατευθύναι ὑμῶν τὰς καρδίας εἰς τὴν ἀγάπην τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ εἰς τὴν ὑπομονὴν τοῦ Χριστοῦ.
6 And we command you, brothers, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not after the tradition that you received from us,
Παραγγέλλομεν δὲ ὑμῖν, ἀδελφοί, ἐν ὀνόματι τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, στέλλεσθαι ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ παντὸς ἀδελφοῦ ἀτάκτως περιπατοῦντος καὶ μὴ κατὰ τὴν παράδοσιν ἣν (παρελάβοσαν *N(K)(O)*) παρ᾽ ἡμῶν.
7 for you have known how it is necessary to imitate us, because we did not act disorderly among you;
αὐτοὶ γὰρ οἴδατε πῶς δεῖ μιμεῖσθαι ἡμᾶς· ὅτι οὐκ ἠτακτήσαμεν ἐν ὑμῖν,
8 nor did we eat bread of anyone for nothing, but in labor and in travail, working night and day, not to be chargeable to any of you;
οὐδὲ δωρεὰν ἄρτον ἐφάγομεν παρά τινος, ἀλλ᾽ ἐν κόπῳ καὶ μόχθῳ (νυκτὸς *N(k)O*) καὶ (ἡμέρας *N(k)O*) ἐργαζόμενοι πρὸς τὸ μὴ ἐπιβαρῆσαί τινα ὑμῶν·
9 not because we have no authority, but that we might give ourselves to you [as] a pattern, to imitate us;
οὐχ ὅτι οὐκ ἔχομεν ἐξουσίαν, ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα ἑαυτοὺς τύπον δῶμεν ὑμῖν εἰς τὸ μιμεῖσθαι ἡμᾶς.
10 for even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat,
καὶ γὰρ ὅτε ἦμεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς, τοῦτο παρηγγέλλομεν ὑμῖν ὅτι εἴ τις οὐ θέλει ἐργάζεσθαι μηδὲ ἐσθιέτω.
11 for we hear of some walking disorderly among you, working nothing, but being busybodies,
Ἀκούομεν γάρ τινας περιπατοῦντας ἐν ὑμῖν ἀτάκτως, μηδὲν ἐργαζομένους ἀλλὰ περιεργαζομένους.
12 and such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ, that working with quietness, they may eat their own bread;
Τοῖς δὲ τοιούτοις παραγγέλλομεν καὶ παρακαλοῦμεν (ἐν *N(k)O*) (τοῦ *k*) (κυρίῳ *N(k)O*) (ἡμῶν *K*) Ἰησοῦ (Χριστῷ *N(k)O*) ἵνα μετὰ ἡσυχίας ἐργαζόμενοι τὸν ἑαυτῶν ἄρτον ἐσθίωσιν.
13 and you, brothers, may you not be weary doing well,
ὑμεῖς δέ, ἀδελφοί, μὴ ἐγκακήσητε καλοποιοῦντες.
14 and if anyone does not obey our word through the letter, note this one, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed,
Εἰ δέ τις οὐχ ὑπακούει τῷ λόγῳ ἡμῶν διὰ τῆς ἐπιστολῆς, τοῦτον σημειοῦσθε (καὶ *k*) μὴ (συναναμίγνυσθαι *N(k)O*) αὐτῷ ἵνα ἐντραπῇ·
15 and do not count as an enemy, but admonish as a brother;
καὶ μὴ ὡς ἐχθρὸν ἡγεῖσθε, ἀλλὰ νουθετεῖτε ὡς ἀδελφόν.
16 and may the LORD of peace Himself always give to you peace in every way; the LORD [is] with you all!
Αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ κύριος τῆς εἰρήνης δῴη ὑμῖν τὴν εἰρήνην διὰ παντὸς ἐν παντὶ τρόπῳ. ὁ κύριος μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν.
17 The salutation by the hand of me, Paul, which is a sign in every letter; thus I write.
Ὁ ἀσπασμὸς τῇ ἐμῇ χειρὶ Παύλου, ὅ ἐστιν σημεῖον ἐν πάσῃ ἐπιστολῇ· οὕτως γράφω.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you all! Amen.
Ἡ χάρις τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν (ἀμήν. *KO*) (πρός Θεσσαλονικείς δευτέρᾳ ἐγράφη ἀπό Ἀθηνῶν *K*)
