Berean Standard Bible
Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly
and be glorified
, even
as also
with you ;
Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread quickly
and be held
in
honor
, just
as it
was
with you .
and that we may be delivered from unreasonable
and evil men; for not all
have
faith.
And pray
that we may be delivered from wicked
and evil men; for not everyone
holds
to
the
faith.
But the Lord is faithful, who
will establish
you ,
and guard you from the evil one.
But the Lord is faithful, and
He
will strengthen
you and guard you from the evil one.
We have confidence in the Lord concerning
you,
that you both
do
and will do the
things
we command.
And
we have confidence in the Lord that you are
doing
and will continue
to
do what
we command.
May the Lord direct your hearts into the
love of
God,
and into
the
patience
of
Christ
.
May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s
love and Christ’s
perseverance
.
Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that
you
withdraw
yourselves
from every
brother who walks
in
rebellion,
and
not after
the tradition which
they
received from us.
Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to
keep
away
from any
brother who leads
an
undisciplined
life
that
is
not in
keeping
with
the tradition you
received from us.
For you know how you ought to imitate us .
For
we didn't
behave
ourselves
rebelliously
among you,
For you yourselves
know how you ought to imitate us ,
because
we were
not
undisciplined
among you,
neither
did we eat bread
from
anyone's
hand
without paying for it, but
in labor and travail
worked night and day ,
that we might
not burden any of you ;
nor
did we eat anyone’s
food
without paying for it .
Instead
, in labor and toil,
we
worked night and day so
that we would
not be
a
burden to
any of you .
not because
we don't
have
the
right, but to make
ourselves an example to
you,
that
you should
imitate us
.
Not that
we lack
this
right, but we
wanted
to offer
ourselves as
an example for
you to
imitate.
For even when
we were with you, we commanded
you this: "
If anyone will
not
work, neither
let
him
eat. "
For even while
we were with you, we gave
you this command
: “
If anyone is
unwilling
to
work, he
shall
not
eat. ”
For
we hear of
some who
walk
among
you in
rebellion,
who
don't
work
at
all,
but
are busybodies.
Yet
we hear that
some of
you are leading
undisciplined
lives
and
accomplishing
nothing
but
being
busybodies.
Now
those
who
are
that
way,
we command and exhort
in
the
Lord Jesus Christ ,
that
with
quietness
they
work,
and
eat
their own bread
.
We command and urge
such
people
by
our
Lord Jesus Christ to
begin
working
quietly
to
earn
their own living
.
But you, brothers, don't
be
weary in doing
well.
But as
for
you, brothers, do
not
grow
weary in well -doing
.
If
any
man
doesn't
obey our
word
in this letter ,
note
that
man,
that
you
have
no
company
with him, to
the
end
that he may be ashamed.
Take
note
of
anyone
who
does
not
obey the
instructions
we
have
given
in this letter .
Do
not
associate
with him, so
that he may be ashamed.
Don't
count
him as an enemy, but admonish
him as a brother.
Yet
do
not
regard
him as an enemy, but warn
him as a brother.
Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all
ways
. The Lord be with you
all.
Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and
in every
way
. The Lord be with all of
you
.
The
greeting of
me,
Paul,
with
my own hand ,
which
is the
sign
in every letter :
this
is how
I write.
This
greeting is
in
my own hand —Paul.
This
is my
mark
in every letter ;
it
is the
way
I write.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you
all .
Amen
.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of
you
.
