Προς Θεσσαλονικεις Β΄ 3

1 το λοιπον προσευχεσθε αδελφοι περι ημων ινα ο λογος του κυριου τρεχη και δοξαζηται καθως και προς υμας

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 και ινα ρυσθωμεν απο των ατοπων και πονηρων ανθρωπων ου γαρ παντων η πιστις

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

3 πιστος δε εστιν ο κυριος ος στηριξει υμας και φυλαξει απο του πονηρου

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and keep [you] from evil.

4 πεποιθαμεν δε εν κυριω εφ υμας οτι α παραγγελλομεν υμιν και ποιειτε και ποιησετε

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

5 ο δε κυριος κατευθυναι υμων τας καρδιας εις την αγαπην του θεου και εις την υπομονην του χριστου

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

6 παραγγελλομεν δε υμιν αδελφοι εν ονοματι του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου στελλεσθαι υμας απο παντος αδελφου ατακτως περιπατουντος και μη κατα την παραδοσιν ην παρελαβον παρ ημων

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 from us.

7 αυτοι γαρ οιδατε πως δει μιμεισθαι ημας οτι ουκ ητακτησαμεν εν υμιν

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

8 ουδε δωρεαν αρτον εφαγομεν παρα τινος αλλ εν κοπω και μοχθω νυκτα και ημεραν εργαζομενοι προς το μη επιβαρησαι τινα υμων

Neither did we eat any man's bread for naught; but wrought with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:

9 ουχ οτι ουκ εχομεν εξουσιαν αλλ ινα εαυτους τυπον δωμεν υμιν εις το μιμεισθαι ημας

Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves a pattern to you to follow us.

10 και γαρ οτε ημεν προς υμας τουτο παρηγγελλομεν υμιν οτι ει τις ου θελει εργαζεσθαι μηδε εσθιετω

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

11 ακουομεν γαρ τινας περιπατουντας εν υμιν ατακτως μηδεν εργαζομενους αλλα περιεργαζομενους

For we hear that there are some who walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busy-bodies.

12 τοις δε τοιουτοις παραγγελλομεν και παρακαλουμεν δια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου ινα μετα ησυχιας εργαζομενοι τον εαυτων αρτον εσθιωσιν

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 υμεις δε αδελφοι μη εκκακησητε καλοποιουντες

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

14 ει δε τις ουχ υπακουει τω λογω ημων δια της επιστολης τουτον σημειουσθε και μη συναναμιγνυσθε αυτω ινα εντραπη

And if any man obeyeth not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

15 και μη ως εχθρον ηγεισθε αλλα νουθετειτε ως αδελφον

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

16 αυτος δε ο κυριος της ειρηνης δωη υμιν την ειρηνην δια παντος εν παντι τροπω ο κυριος μετα παντων υμων

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

17 ο ασπασμος τη εμη χειρι παυλου ο εστιν σημειον εν παση επιστολη ουτως γραφω

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

18 η χαρις του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου μετα παντων υμων αμην

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