2 Thessalonians 3

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 Finally, brothers, pray for us that the Lord's message may spread rapidly and receive honor, just as it did with you;

2 and that we may be rescued from wicked and evil people, for not everyone has trust.

3 But the Lord is worthy of trust; he will make you firm and guard you from the Evil One.

4 Yes, united with the Lord we are confident about you, that you are doing the things we are telling you to do, and that you will keep on doing them.

5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and the perseverance which the Messiah gives.

6 Now, in the name of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah we command you, brothers, to stay away from any brother who is leading a life of idleness, a life not in keeping with the tradition you received from us.

7 For you yourselves know how you must imitate us, that we were not idle when we were among you.

8 We did not accept anyone's food without paying; on the contrary, we labored and toiled, day and night, working so as not to be a burden to any of you.

9 It was not that we hadn't the right to be supported, but so that we could make ourselves an example to imitate.

10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: if someone won't work, he shouldn't eat!

11 We hear that some of you are leading a life of idleness - not busy working, just busybodies!

12 We command such people - and in union with the Lord Yeshua the Messiah we urge them - to settle down, get to work, and earn their own living.

13 And you brothers who are doing what is good, don't slack off!

14 Furthermore, if anyone does not obey what we are saying in this letter, take note of him and have nothing to do with him, so that he will be ashamed.

15 But don't consider him an enemy; on the contrary, confront him as a brother and try to help him change.

16 Now may the Lord of shalom himself give you shalom always in all ways. The Lord be with all of you.

17 The greeting in my own handwriting: From Sha'ul. This is the mark of genuineness in every letter, this is what my handwriting looks like.

18 The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with you all.

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.
