2 Thessalonians 3

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 For the rest, my brothers, let there be prayer for us that the word of the Lord may go forward with increasing glory, even as it does with you;

2 And that we may be made free from foolish and evil men; for not all have faith.

3 But the Lord is true, who will give you strength and keep you safe from evil.

4 And we have faith in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things about which we give you orders.

5 And may your hearts be guided by the Lord into the love of God and quiet waiting for Christ.

6 Now we give you orders, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from all those whose behaviour is not well ordered and in harmony with the teaching which they had from us.

7 For you yourselves are used to taking us as your example, because our life among you was ruled by order,

8 And we did not take food from any man for nothing, but were working hard night and day not to be a trouble to any of you:

9 Not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, so that you might do the same.

10 For even when we were with you we gave you orders, saying, If any man does no work, let him not have food.

11 For it has come to our ears that there are some among you whose behaviour is uncontrolled, who do no work at all, but are over-interested in the business of others.

12 Now to such we give orders and make request in the Lord Jesus, that, working quietly, they get their living.

13 And you, my brothers, do not get tired of well-doing.

14 And if any man does not give attention to what we have said in this letter, take note of that man, and keep away from him, so that he may be shamed.

15 Have no feeling of hate for him, but take him in hand seriously as a brother.

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

17 These words of love to you at the end are in my writing, Paul's writing, and this is the mark of every letter from me.

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

Orthodox Jewish Bible OJB

1 Lemaskana (finally), Achim b’Moshiach, daven for us, that the Dvar Hashem will run on and be lifted up in kavod, just as it is also with you,

2 And that we may be delivered from anshei resha (men of wickedness), for not all possess the Messianic emunah.

3 But Ne’eman (Faithful) is Hashem who gives you chozek (strength) and is shomer over you, guarding you from the Evil One.

4 And we have bitachon in Hashem concerning you, that you are doing and will continue to do what we have directed.

5 Now may Hashem direct your levavot in the Ahavas Hashem and into the zitzfleisch of Moshiach.

6 Now we charge you, Achim b’Moshiach, b’Shem Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, to shun chavrusashaft (association) with every one of the Achim b’Moshiach who follows the derech habatlanim (way of idlers) and walks not according to Moshiach’s [pnimiyus] haTorah that was handed over and transmitted to you and which you received from us [Shlichim].

7 For you yourselves have da’as how it is necessary to imitate us as a mofet, a role model, because we [Shlichim] were not batlanim (idlers) among you.

8 Nor did we eat lechem (food) from anyone gratis, but in labor and exertion lailah v’yomam (night and day) we were working for the tachlis (purpose) of not weighing down and burdening any one of you;

9 Not because we do not have the zchus (right), but in order that we impart ourselves as a mofet (role model) to you that you might imitate us.

10 For even when we were with you, this we used to direct you: that if anyone will not be a po’el (worker), neither let him be an ochel (eater) [Gn 3:19].

11 For we hear that some among you are leading the life of a batlan (loafer), not being busy with a parnasah, but being busybodies with hitarevut (meddlesomeness).

12 Now such persons we are directing and exhort in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu to work with quietness that they may eat their own lechem.

13 But you, Achim b’Moshiach, do not lose chozek in well-doing.

14 But if anyone does not obey the gzeira (injunction) in this iggeret hakodesh (holy letter), take special notice of that one; do not have chavrusashaft (association) with him, for the tachlis (purpose) of stirring him with a sense of bushah (shame).

15 And do not consider (him) an oyev (enemy) but warn him as an Ach b’Moshiach.

16 Now may Elohei HaShalom Himself grant you shalom in every way. Hashem be with you all.

17 I, [Rav] Sha’ul, send Drishat Shalom greetings in my own handwriting, which is the distinctive siman (sign) in every iggeret hakodesh; this is the way I write.

18 The unmerited Chen v’Chesed Hashem of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua be with you all. [T.N. The following was written during the period between his release from custody in 63 and his re-arrest and death al kiddush ha-Shem in 65 C.E.]
