2 Thessalonians 3
1 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly 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 unreasonable and evil people; for not all have faith.
And that we may be delivered from wicked men and perverse; for every man hath not faith.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one.
But the Lord is faithful, who will keep you and deliver you from evil.
4 We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.
But we confide concerning you in our Lord, that what we have commanded you, you have done,
5 May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Messiah.
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 command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who lives an undisciplined life, and not after the tradition which they 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 you know how you ought to imitate us. For we were not undisciplined among you,
For you know how it behoveth to imitate us who walked not wickedly among you.
8 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;
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 because we do not have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.
Not because we had not power, but because in ourselves we would give you an example, that you may imitate us.
10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "If anyone will not 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 some among you are living an undisciplined life, who do not work at all, but are busybodies.
For we hear that there are some among you who walk wickedly, and nothing work, unless vain things.
12 Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, that with quietness they work, and 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 you, brothers, do not be weary in doing well.
But you, my brethren, be not weary in doing what is good.
14 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.
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 Do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
Yet, not as an enemy hold him, but admonish him as a brother.
16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. 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 greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter: this is how 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 Yeshua the Messiah be with you all.
The grace of Jeshu Meshiha be with you all, my brethren. Amen.
