3:1 Finally 3063, brethren 80, pray 4336 5737 for 4012 us 2257, that 2443 the word 3056 of the Lord 2962 may have [free] course 5143 5725, and 2532 be glorified 1392 5747, even 2532 as 2531 [it is] with 4314 you 5209:(have…: Gr. run)

3:2 And 2532 that 2443 we may be delivered 4506 5686 from 575 unreasonable 824 and 2532 wicked 4190 men 444: for 1063 all 3956 [men] have not 3756 faith 4102.(unreasonable: Gr. absurd)

3:3 But 1161 the Lord 2962 is 2076 5748 faithful 4103, who 3739 shall stablish 4741 5692 you 5209, and 2532 keep 5442 5692 [you] from 575 evil 4190.

3:4 And 1161 we have confidence 3982 5754 in 1722 the Lord 2962 touching 1909 you 5209, that 3754 ye both 2532 do 4160 5719 and 2532 will do 4160 5692 the things which 3739 we command 3853 5719 you 5213.

3:5 And 1161 the Lord 2962 direct 2720 5659 your 5216 hearts 2588 into 1519 the love 26 of God 2316, and 2532 into 1519 the patient waiting 5281 for Christ 5547.(patient…: or, patience of Christ)

3:6 Now 1161 we command 3853 5719 you 5213, brethren 80, in 1722 the name 3686 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, that ye withdraw 4724 5733 yourselves 5209 from 575 every 3956 brother 80 that walketh 4043 5723 disorderly 814, and 2532 not 3361 after 2596 the tradition 3862 which 3739 he received 3880 5627 of 3844 us 2257.

3:7 For 1063 yourselves 846 know 1492 5758 how 4459 ye ought 1163 5748 to follow 3401 5738 us 2248: for 3754 we behaved 812 0 not 3756 ourselves disorderly 812 5656 among 1722 you 5213;

3:8 Neither 3761 did we eat 5315 5627 any man's 3844 5100 bread 740 for nought 1432; but 235 wrought 2038 5740 with 1722 labour 2873 and 2532 travail 3449 night 3571 and 2532 day 2250, that 4314 we might 1912 0 not 3361 be chargeable 1912 5658 to any 5100 of you 5216:

3:9 Not 3756 because 3754 we have 2192 5719 not 3756 power 1849, but 235 to 2443 make 1325 5632 ourselves 1438 an ensample 5179 unto you 5213 to 1519 follow 3401 5738 us 2248.

3:10 For 1063 even 2532 when 3753 we were 2258 5713 with 4314 you 5209, this 5124 we commanded 3853 5707 you 5213, that 3754 if any 1536 would 2309 5719 not 3756 work 2038 5738, neither 3366 should he eat 2068 5720.

3:11 For 1063 we hear 191 5719 that there are some 5100 which walk 4043 5723 among 1722 you 5213 disorderly 814, working 2038 5740 not at all 3367, but 235 are busybodies 4020 5740.

3:12 Now 1161 them that are such 5108 we command 3853 5719 and 2532 exhort 3870 5719 by 1223 our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, that 2443 with 3326 quietness 2271 they work 2038 5740, and eat 2068 5725 their own 1438 bread 740.

3:13 But 1161 ye 5210, brethren 80, be 1573 0 not 3361 weary 1573 5661 in well doing 2569 5723.(be…: or, faint not)

3:14 And 1161 if any man 1536 obey 5219 5719 not 3756 our 2257 word 3056 by 1223 this epistle 1992, note 4593 5732 that 5126 man, and 2532 have 4874 0 no 3361 company with 4874 5732 him 846, that 2443 he may be ashamed 1788 5652.(by…: or, signify that man by an epistle)

3:15 Yet 2532 count 2233 5737 [him] not 3361 as 5613 an enemy 2190, but 235 admonish 3560 5720 [him] as 5613 a brother 80.

3:16 Now 1161 the Lord 2962 of peace 1515 himself 846 give 1325 5630 you 5213 peace 1515 always 1223 3956 by 1722 all 3956 means 5158. The Lord 2962 [be] with 3326 you 5216 all 3956.

3:17 The salutation 783 of Paul 3972 with mine own 1699 hand 5495, which 3739 is 2076 5748 the token 4592 in 1722 every 3956 epistle 1992: so 3779 I write 1125 5719.

3:18 The grace 5485 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 [be] with 3326 you 5216 all 3956. Amen 281. {The second 1208 epistle to 4314 the Thessalonians 2331 was written 1125 5648 from 575 Athens 116.}
