2 Thessalonians 3

1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, as with you,

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have [free] course, and be glorified, even as [it is] with you:

2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for it is not all that have faith.

And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all [men] have not faith.

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

But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep [you] from evil.

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

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

5 And the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to perseverance in the cause of Christ.

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

6 Now we charge you, brethren, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which they received of us.

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.

7 For ye yourselves know how ye ought to imitate us; for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you,

For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

8 neither did we eat any man's bread for nought, but were working with labor and travail night and day, that we might not be burdensome to any of you.

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:

9 Not because we have not authority, but to make ourselves an example to you, that ye should imitate us.

Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

10 For also when we were with you, this we commanded you: If any one will not work, neither let him eat.

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

11 For we hear of some who walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

12 Now such we charge and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing.

But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

14 And if any one obey not our word by this epistle, mark that man; and keep no company with him, that he may be shamed;

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.

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

Yet count [him] not as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother.

16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always in every way; the Lord be with you all.

Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord [be] with you all.

17 The salutation by the hand of me, Paul; which is the token in every letter; so I write.

The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.

18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.
