1 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you, 2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. 4 We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command. 5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love, and into the perseverance of Messiah.
6 Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks in rebellion, and not after the tradition which they received from us. 7 For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we didn’t behave ourselves rebelliously 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, 9 not because we don’t have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should 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." 11 For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don’t work at all, but are busybodies. 12 Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, that they work with quietness and eat their own bread.
13 But you, brothers, don’t be weary in doing what is right. 14 If any man doesn’t obey our word in this letter, note that man, that you have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed. 15 Don’t count him as an enemy, but 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.
17 The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter: this is how I write. 18 The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with you all. Amen.

1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may rapidly spread, and be glorified, even as among you.2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for all men have not faith.3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish and keep you from the evil one.4 For we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do, and will do, the things which we command you.5 And may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.6 Now, we command you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks disorderly, and not according to the tradition which he received from us.7 For yourselves know how you ought to imitate us-that we did not walk disorderly among you;8 but with labor and toil we wrought night and day, that we might not be burdensome to any of you.9 Not because we have not a right, but that we might give ourselves to you for a pattern, to imitate us.10 And, therefore, when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any one will not work, neither let him eat.11 For we hear that there are some who still walk among you disorderly, not working at all, but prying into other people's affairs.12 Now, them who are such, we command and beseech by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.13 And you, brethren, be not weary in well doing.14 Now, if one do not obey our command in this letter, point out that man, and keep no company with him, that he may be ashamed.15 Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.16 And may the Lord of peace himself give you peace always, in every event. The Lord be with you all.17 The salutation of Paul, with my own hand, which is the token in every epistle: thus I write.18 The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
