1. Finally, brothers, pray for us, so that the word of the Lord may speed forward and be glorified, as it did among you,
|
1. Finally G3063 , brethren G80 , pray G4336 for G4012 us G2257 , that G2443 the G3588 word G3056 of the G3588 Lord G2962 may have free course G5143 , and G2532 be glorified G1392 , even G2532 as G2531 it is with G4314 you G5209 :
|
|
2. and that we may be delivered from perverse and wicked people, for not all have faith.
|
2. And G2532 that G2443 we may be delivered G4506 from G575 unreasonable G824 and G2532 wicked G4190 men G444 : for G1063 all G3956 men have not G3756 faith G4102 .
|
|
3. But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.
|
3. But G1161 the G3588 Lord G2962 is G2076 faithful G4103 , who G3739 shall establish G4741 you G5209 , and G2532 keep G5442 you from G575 evil G4190 .
|
|
4. We are confident of you in the Lord that what we instruct you, you (both) are doing and will continue to do.
|
4. And G1161 we have confidence G3982 in G1722 the Lord G2962 touching G1909 you G5209 , that G3754 ye both G2532 do G4160 and G2532 will do G4160 the things which G3739 we command G3853 you G5213 .
|
|
5. May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the endurance of Christ.
|
5. And G1161 the G3588 Lord G2962 direct G2720 your G5216 hearts G2588 into G1519 the G3588 love G26 of God G2316 , and G2532 into G1519 the G3588 patient waiting G5281 for Christ G5547 .
|
|
6. We instruct you, brothers, in the name of (our) Lord Jesus Christ,to shun any brother who conducts himself in a disorderly way and not according to the tradition they received from us.
|
6. Now G1161 we command G3853 you G5213 , brethren G80 , in G1722 the name G3686 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 , that ye G5209 withdraw yourselves G4724 from G575 every G3956 brother G80 that walketh G4043 disorderly G814 , and G2532 not G3361 after G2596 the G3588 tradition G3862 which G3739 he received G3880 of G3844 us G2257 .
|
|
7. For you know how one must imitate us. For we did not act in a disorderly way among you,
|
7. For G1063 yourselves G846 know G1492 how G4459 ye ought G1163 to follow G3401 us G2248 : for G3754 we behaved not ourselves disorderly G812 G3756 among G1722 you G5213 ;
|
|
8. nor did we eat food received free from anyone. On the contrary, in toil and drudgery, night and day we worked, so as not to burden any of you.
|
8. Neither G3761 did we eat G5315 any G3844 man G5100 's bread G740 for naught G1432 ; but G235 wrought G2038 with G1722 labor G2873 and G2532 travail G3449 night G3571 and G2532 day G2250 , that we might not G3361 be chargable G1912 to any G5100 of you G5216 :
|
|
9. Not that we do not have the right. Rather, we wanted to present ourselves as a model for you, so that you might imitate us.
|
9. Not G3756 because G3754 we have G2192 not G3756 power G1849 , but G235 to G2443 make G1325 ourselves G1438 an example G5179 unto you G5213 to follow G3401 us G2248 .
|
|
10. In fact, when we were with you, we instructed you that if anyone was unwilling to work, neither should that one eat.
|
10. For G1063 even G2532 when G3753 we were G2258 with G4314 you G5209 , this G5124 we commanded G3853 you G5213 , that G3754 if any G1536 would G2309 not G3756 work G2038 , neither G3366 should he eat G2068 .
|
|
11. We hear that some are conducting themselves among you in a disorderly way, by not keeping busy but minding the business ofothers.
|
11. For G1063 we hear G191 that there are some G5100 which walk G4043 among G1722 you G5213 disorderly G814 , working G2038 not at all G3367 , but G235 are busybodies G4020 .
|
|
12. Such people we instruct and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and to eat their own food.
|
12. Now G1161 them that are such G5108 we command G3853 and G2532 exhort G3870 by G1223 our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 , that G2443 with G3326 quietness G2271 they work G2038 , and eat G2068 their own G1438 bread G740 .
|
|
13. But you, brothers, do not be remiss in doing good.
|
13. But G1161 ye G5210 , brethren G80 , be not weary G1573 G3361 in well doing G2569 .
|
|
14. If anyone does not obey our word as expressed in this letter, take note of this person not to associate with him, that he may be put to shame.
|
14. And G1161 if G1487 any man G5100 obey G5219 not G3756 our G2257 word G3056 by G1223 this epistle G1992 , note G4593 that man G5126 , and G2532 have no company G4874 G3361 with him G846 , that G2443 he may be ashamed G1788 .
|
|
15. Do not regard him as an enemy but admonish him as a brother.
|
15. Yet G2532 count G2233 him not G3361 as G5613 an enemy G2190 , but G235 admonish G3560 him as G5613 a brother G80 .
|
|
16. May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
|
16. Now G1161 the G3588 Lord G2962 of peace G1515 himself G846 give G1325 you G5213 peace G1515 always G1223 G3956 by G1722 all G3956 means G5158 . The G3588 Lord G2962 be with G3326 you G5216 all G3956 .
|
|
17. This greeting is in my own hand, Paul's. This is the sign in every letter; this is how I write.
|
17. The G3588 salutation G783 of Paul G3972 with mine own G1699 hand G5495 , which G3739 is G2076 the token G4592 in G1722 every G3956 epistle G1992 : so G3779 I write G1125 .
|
|
18. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.
|
18. The G3588 grace G5485 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 be with G3326 you G5216 all G3956 . Amen G281 .
