[1] For the rest, my brothers, let there be prayer for us that the word of
the Lord may go forward with increasing glory, even as it does with you;
[2] And that we may be made free from foolish and evil men; for not all
have faith. [3] But the Lord is true, who will give you strength and keep
you safe from evil. [4] And we have faith in the Lord about you, that you
are doing and will do the things about which we give you orders. [5] And
may your hearts be guided by the Lord into the love of God and quiet
waiting for Christ. [6] Now we give you orders, brothers, in the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from all those whose behaviour is not
well ordered and in harmony with the teaching which they had from us. [7]
For you yourselves are used to taking us as your example, because our life
among you was ruled by order, [8] And we did not take food from any man for
nothing, but were working hard night and day not to be a trouble to any of
you: [9] Not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an
example to you, so that you might do the same. [10] For even when we were
with you we gave you orders, saying, If any man does no work, let him not
have food. [11] For it has come to our ears that there are some among you
whose behaviour is uncontrolled, who do no work at all, but are
over-interested in the business of others. [12] Now to such we give orders
and make request in the Lord Jesus, that, working quietly, they get their
living. [13] And you, my brothers, do not get tired of well-doing. [14] And
if any man does not give attention to what we have said in this letter,
take note of that man, and keep away from him, so that he may be shamed.
[15] Have no feeling of hate for him, but take him in hand seriously as a
brother. [16] Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and
in every way. May the Lord be with you all. [17] These words of love to you
at the end are in my writing, Paul's writing, and this is the mark of every
letter from me. [18] May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you
all.
