1 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you;
2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have faith.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one.
4 We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.
5 May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of the Anointed One.
6 Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Yesous the Anointed One, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother living in idleness, and not after the tradition which they received from us.
7 For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we were not idle among you,
8 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;
9 not because we don't have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.
10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat."
11 For we hear of some who among you walk in idleness, who don't work at all, but are busybodies.
12 Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Yesous the Anointed One, that with quietness they work, and earn their own living.
13 But you, brothers, don't be weary in doing good.
14 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.
15 Don't count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.
17 The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter: this is how I write.
18 The grace of our Lord Yesous the Anointed One be with you all. Amen.
