2 Thessalonians 3
1 Now, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may rush and be glorified, as it also is with you.
Τὸ λοιπόν, προσεύχεσθε, ἀδελφοί, περὶ ἡμῶν, ἵνα ὁ λόγος τοῦ κυρίου τρέχῃ καὶ δοξάζηται καθὼς καὶ πρὸς ὑμᾶς
2 Pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not all have faith.
καὶ ἵνα ῥυσθῶμεν ἀπὸ τῶν ἀτόπων καὶ πονηρῶν ἀνθρώπων· οὐ γὰρ πάντων ἡ πίστις.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.
πιστὸς δέ ἐστιν ὁ κύριος, ὃς στηρίξει ὑμᾶς καὶ φυλάξει ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ.
4 We have confidence in the Lord about you, that you both do and will continue to do the things that we command.
πεποίθαμεν δὲ ἐν κυρίῳ ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς ὅτι ἃ παραγγέλλομεν (ὑμῖν *k*) καὶ ποιεῖτε καὶ ποιήσετε.
5 May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the endurance of Christ.
ὁ δὲ κύριος κατευθύναι ὑμῶν τὰς καρδίας εἰς τὴν ἀγάπην τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ εἰς τὴν ὑπομονὴν τοῦ Χριστοῦ.
6 Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you avoid every brother who lives a lazy life and does not live according to the traditions 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 yourselves know it is proper for you to imitate us. We did not live among you as those who had no discipline.
αὐτοὶ γὰρ οἴδατε πῶς δεῖ μιμεῖσθαι ἡμᾶς· ὅτι οὐκ ἠτακτήσαμεν ἐν ὑμῖν,
8 We did not eat anyone's food without paying for it. Instead, we worked night and day in difficult labor and hardship, so we might not be a burden 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 We did this not because we have no authority. Instead, we did this in order to be an example to you, so that you may imitate us.
οὐχ ὅτι οὐκ ἔχομεν ἐξουσίαν, ἀλλ᾽ ἵνα ἑαυτοὺς τύπον δῶμεν ὑμῖν εἰς τὸ μιμεῖσθαι ἡμᾶς.
10 When we were with you, we commanded you, “The one who is unwilling to work must not eat.”
καὶ γὰρ ὅτε ἦμεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς, τοῦτο παρηγγέλλομεν ὑμῖν ὅτι εἴ τις οὐ θέλει ἐργάζεσθαι μηδὲ ἐσθιέτω.
11 For we hear that some walk idly among you. They do not work but are instead meddlers.
Ἀκούομεν γάρ τινας περιπατοῦντας ἐν ὑμῖν ἀτάκτως, μηδὲν ἐργαζομένους ἀλλὰ περιεργαζομένους.
12 Now such ones we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they should work with quietness and eat their own food.
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 But you, brothers, do not become tired of doing what is right.
ὑμεῖς δέ, ἀδελφοί, μὴ ἐγκακήσητε καλοποιοῦντες.
14 If anyone does not obey our word in this letter, take note of him and have no association with him, so 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 Do not consider him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.
καὶ μὴ ὡς ἐχθρὸν ἡγεῖσθε, ἀλλὰ νουθετεῖτε ὡς ἀδελφόν.
16 May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. May the Lord be with you all.
Αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ κύριος τῆς εἰρήνης δῴη ὑμῖν τὴν εἰρήνην διὰ παντὸς ἐν παντὶ τρόπῳ. ὁ κύριος μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν.
17 This is my greeting, Paul, with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter. This is how I write.
Ὁ ἀσπασμὸς τῇ ἐμῇ χειρὶ Παύλου, ὅ ἐστιν σημεῖον ἐν πάσῃ ἐπιστολῇ· οὕτως γράφω.
18 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Ἡ χάρις τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν (ἀμήν. *KO*) (πρός Θεσσαλονικείς δευτέρᾳ ἐγράφη ἀπό Ἀθηνῶν *K*)
