2 Thessalonians 3

The Darby Translation DBY

1 For the rest, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also with you;

2 and that we may be delivered from bad and evil men, for faith [is] not [the portion] of all.

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

4 But we trust in the Lord as to you, that the things which we enjoin, ye both do and will do.

5 But the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of the Christ.

6 Now we enjoin you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw from every brother walking disorderly and not according to the instruction which he received from us.

7 For ye know yourselves how ye ought to imitate us, because we have not walked disorderly among you;

8 nor have we eaten bread from any one without cost; but in toil and hardship working night and day not to be chargeable to any one of you:

9 not that we have not the right, but that we might give ourselves as an example to you, in order to your imitating us.

10 For also when we were with you we enjoined you this, that if any man does not like to work, neither let him eat.

11 For we hear that [there are] some walking among you disorderly, not working at all, but busybodies.

12 Now such we enjoin and exhort in [the] Lord Jesus Christ, that working quietly they eat their own bread.

13 But *ye*, brethren, do not faint in well-doing.

14 But if any one obey not our word by the letter, mark that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed of himself;

15 and do not esteem him as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother.

16 But the Lord of peace himself give you peace continually in every way. The Lord [be] with you all.

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

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

New International Version NIV

1 As for other matters, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you.

2 And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has faith.

3 But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.

4 We have confidence in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we command.

5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.

6 In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching you received from us.

7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you,

8 nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you.

9 We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate.

10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”

11 We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies.

12 Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the food they eat.

13 And as for you, brothers and sisters, never tire of doing what is good.

14 Take special note of anyone who does not obey our instruction in this letter. Do not associate with them, in order that they may feel ashamed.

15 Yet do not regard them as an enemy, but warn them as you would a fellow believer.

16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.

17 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand, which is the distinguishing mark in all my letters. This is how I write.

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