\subsection{II Thessalonians 3}
|
|
\VS{1} Finally, be praying, brothers, for us, in order that the word of the Lord
|
|
run [freely] and be glorified just as [it is] also with you,
|
|
\VS{2} and that we be delivered from the wrong and wicked\fnPoneros{} men,
|
|
for not all [have] the faith.
|
|
\VS{3} The Lord is trustworthy, who will establish you, and guard you from
|
|
the wicked\fnPoneros{} [one].
|
|
\VS{4} We are confident in [the] Lord concerning
|
|
you, that what we command you both do and will do.
|
|
\VS{5} Now the Lord
|
|
direct your hearts into the agape-love of God and into the endurance of
|
|
Christ.
|
|
\VS{6} So we command you, brothers, in [the] name of the Lord Jesus
|
|
Christ, to keep away from every brother walking [in an] unruly [manner] and not according
|
|
to the tradition which you received from us.
|
|
\VS{7} For you yourselves know
|
|
how [you] must imitate us, for we were not disorderly among you,
|
|
\VS{8} neither
|
|
did we eat anyone's bread given [to us], but with labor and toil night and day
|
|
working to not burden any [of you],
|
|
\VS{9} not that we have no authority, but in
|
|
order that we give ourselves to you as [a] pattern for you to imitate us.
|
|
\VS{10} For when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if someone
|
|
does not want to work, neither let\fnImperative{} him eat.
|
|
\VS{11} For
|
|
we hear [of] some walking among you [in an] unruly [manner], not working, but being busybodies.
|
|
\VS{12} So to such we commend and exhort in [the] Lord Jesus Christ that, working
|
|
with quietness, they eat their own bread.
|
|
\VS{13} But you, brothers, do not
|
|
weary of doing good.
|
|
\VS{14} So if any does not obey our word of this
|
|
letter, be marking this [one], to be not associating with him, in order that he
|
|
be shamed.
|
|
\VS{15} Yet do not consider [him] as [an] enemy, but be admonishing him as [a] brother.
|
|
|
|
\VS{16} Now may the Lord of peace himself give to you peace through
|
|
everything in every manner. The Lord [is] with you all.
|
|
\VS{17} The greeting of
|
|
Paul by my [own] hand, which is [the] sign in every letter; thus do I write.
|
|
\VS{18} The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be]\footnote{or ``[is]''} with you all.
