Finally, brethren
, pray
for
us
, that
the word
of the Lord
may have free course
, and
be glorified
, even
as
it is with
you
:
And that
we may be delivered
from
unreasonable
and
wicked
men
: for
all
men have not
faith
.
But the Lord
is
faithful
, who
shall stablish
you
, and
keep
you from
evil
.
And we have confidence
in
the Lord
touching
you
, that
ye both
do
and
will do
the things which
we command
you
.
And the Lord
direct
your
hearts
into
the love
of God
, and
into
the patient waiting
for Christ
.
Now we command
you
, brethren
, in
the name
of our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
, that ye withdraw
yourselves
from
every
brother
that walketh
disorderly
, and
not
after
the tradition
which
he received
of
us
.
For yourselves
know
how
ye ought
to follow
us
: for
we behaved
not
ourselves disorderly
among
you
;
Neither did we eat
any man's
bread
for nought
; but
wrought
with
labour
and
travail
night
and
day
, that
we might
not
be chargeable
to any
of you
:
Not because
we have
not
power
, but
to
make
ourselves
an ensample
unto you
to
follow
us
.
For even
when
we were
with
you
, this
we commanded
you
, that
if any
would
not
work
, neither
should he eat
.
For we hear
that there are some
which walk
among
you
disorderly
, working
not at all
, but
are busybodies
.
Now them that are such
we command
and
exhort
by
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
, that
with
quietness
they work
, and eat
their own
bread
.
But ye
, brethren
, be
not
weary
in well doing
.
And if any man
obey
not
our
word
by
this epistle
, note
that
man, and
have
no
company with
him
, that
he may be ashamed
.
Yet count
him not
as
an enemy
, but
admonish
him as
a brother
.
Now the Lord
of peace
himself
give
you
peace
always
by
all
means
. The Lord
be with
you
all
.
The salutation of Paul
with mine own
hand
, which
is
the token
in
every
epistle
: so
I write
.
The grace of our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
be with
you
all
. Amen
. The second
epistle to
the Thessalonians
was written
from
Athens
