2 Thessalonians 3

1 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you,

Finally, do pray, brothers, for us, that the word of the Lord may spread quickly and may be glorified even as also with you

2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have faith.

and that we may be delivered from perverse and evil men; not for all [are] of the faith.

3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.

faithful however is the Lord, who will strengthen you and He will keep [you] from evil.

4 We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.

We have been persuaded now in [the] Lord as to you that [the] things that we command (to you *k) both you are doing and you will do.

5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and into the perseverance of Christ.

And the Lord would direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ.

6 Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks in rebellion and not after the tradition which they received from us.

We command now you, brothers, in [the] name of the Lord of us Jesus Christ, are to withdraw you from every brother idly walking and not according to the tradition that (they received *N+K+O) from us.

7 For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we didn’t behave ourselves rebelliously among you,

Yourselves for you know how it behooves [you] to imitate us; because not we were 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.

nor without payment bread did we eat from anyone, but in labor and hardship (night *N+kO) and (day *N+kO) working in order not to be burdensome to any of you;

9 This was not because we don’t have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.

not that not we have [the] right, but that ourselves [as] an example we may offer to you for you to imitate us.

10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: “If anyone is not willing to work, don’t let him eat.”

Even for when we were with you, this we were commanding you that if anyone not is willing to work neither he should eat.

11 For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don’t work at all, but are busybodies.

We hear for some are walking among you idly, not at all working but being busybodies.

12 Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with quietness and eat their own bread.

Now to such we warn and we exhort (by *N+kO) (the *k) (Lord *N+kO) (of us *K) Jesus (Christ *N+kO) so that with quietness working their own bread they may eat.

13 But you, brothers, don’t be weary in doing what is right.

you yourselves now, brothers, not may grow weary [in] well-doing.

14 If any man doesn’t obey our word in this letter, note that man and have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.

If then anyone not obey this instruction of us through the letter, of this [man] do take note (and *k) not (to mix with *N+kO) him so that he may be ashamed;

15 Don’t count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

And yet not as an enemy do esteem [him], but do 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.

Himself now the Lord of peace would give you peace through all [times] in every way. The Lord [be] with all of you.

17 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter. This is how I write.

The greeting in my own hand — by Paul, which is [my] sign in every letter; In this manner I write.

18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

The grace of the Lord of us Jesus Christ [be] with all of you (Amen. *KO) (to Thessalonica second it was written from Athens *K)
