2 Thessalonians 3 — DRA
3Verse 1For the rest, brethren, pray for us, that the word of God may run, and may be glorified, even as among you;Verse 2And that we may be delivered from importunate and evil men; for all men have not faith.Verse 3But God is faithful, who will strengthen and keep you from evil.Verse 4And we have confidence concerning you in the Lord, that the things which we command, you both do, and will do.Verse 5And the Lord direct your hearts, in the charity of God, and the patience of Christ.Verse 6And we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the tradition which they have received of us.Verse 7For yourselves know how you ought to imitate us: for we were not disorderly among you;Verse 8Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nothing, but in labour and in toil we worked night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you.Verse 9Not as if we had not power: but that we might give ourselves a pattern unto you, to imitate us.Verse 10For also when we were with you, this we declared to you: that, if any man will not work, neither let him eat.Verse 11For we have heard there are some among you who walk disorderly, working not at all, but curiously meddling.Verse 12Now we charge them that are such, and beseech them by the Lord Jesus Christ, that, working with silence, they would eat their own bread.Verse 13But you, brethren, be not weary in well doing.Verse 14And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed:Verse 15Yet do not esteem him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.Verse 16Now the Lord of peace himself give you everlasting peace in every place. The Lord be with you all.Verse 17The salutation of Paul with my own hand; which is the sign in every epistle. So I write.Verse 18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
