ABP - II Thessalonians - 3

3:1  For the rest pray brethren, for us, that the word of the Lord should run and should be glorified, as also to you;

3:2  and that we should be rescued from the unnatural and wicked men; [4is not 1for 5of all 2the 3belief].

3:3  But trustworthy is the Lord, who will support you, and will guard you from the evil.

3:4  But we rely in the Lord as to you, that in which we exhort unto you, both you are doing and will do.

3:5  And may the Lord straighten out your hearts in the love of God, and in the endurance of the Christ.

3:6  And we exhort you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, for you to be in readiness from every brother [2disorderly 1walking], and not according to the tradition which he took to himself from us.

3:7  For you yourselves know how it is necessary to imitate us; for we have not acted disorderly among you;

3:8  nor freely [2bread 1did we eat] from anyone, but in toil and trouble, night and day, working so as to not overburden any of you.

3:9  Not that we do not have authority, but that [2ourselves 3as an impression 1we should give] to you for the imitating us.

3:10  For also when we were with you, we exhorted this unto you, that if any does not want to work, neither let him eat!

3:11  For we hear some are walking among you disorderly, not working, but intermeddling.

3:12  And to such we exhort and appeal by our Lord Jesus Christ, that [2with 3tranquility 1working], [2their own 3bread 1they should eat].

3:13  But you, brethren, you should not tire doing good.

3:14  And if anyone does not obey our word by this letter, signify and do not intermingle with him, that he should be ashamed!

3:15  but not as an enemy esteem him, but admonish him as a brother!

3:16  [6himself 1And 3the 4Lord 5of peace 2may] give to you peace continually in every manner. The Lord be with all of you.

3:17  The greeting by my hand, Paul, which is a sign in every letter; so I write.

3:18  The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you. Amen.
