Previous chapter Index
1 So pray for us, brethren, that the word of the Lord may be spread and glorified, as it is with you,
2 And that we should get rid of the messy and crafty people, for not all people believe.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and keep you from evil.
4 We are sure of you in the Lord that you are doing and will do what we command you.
5 May the Lord guide your hearts into the love of God and the patience of Christ.

6th We command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to depart from every brother who acts disgracefully, and not according to the tradition that was received from us,
7th For you yourself know how you must imitate us; Because we did not riot at you,
8 No one ate bread for nothing, but worked hard and work night and day, so as not to burden any of you, -
9 Not because we did not have the power, but to let ourselves be your model for us to follow.
10 For when we were with you, we commanded you this: if anyone does not want to work, he also does not eat.
eleven But we hear that some of you act disreputably, do nothing, but fuss.
12 We exhort them and convince our Lord Jesus Christ that, working in silence, they should eat their own bread.
13 But you, brethren, be not weary in doing good.
14 If anyone does not listen to our words in this epistle, have that on a note and do not communicate with him to make him ashamed.
15 But do not consider him an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

16 The Lord of peace himself will give you peace always in everything. The Lord be with you all!
17th Greeting with my hand, Paul, that is a sign in every message; I write as follows:
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
