  2nd Thessalonians   chapter 3

    
      1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the
     word of the Lord may have free course, and be
     glorified, even as it is with 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 shall stablish
     you, and keep you from evil.
      4 And we have confidence in the Lord touching
     you, that ye both do and will do the things
     which we command you.
      5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love
     of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
      6 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.
      7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow
     us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly
     among you;
      8 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:
      9 Not because we have not power, but to make
     ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
     10 For even when we were with you, this we
     commanded you, that if any would not work,
     neither should he eat.
     11 For we hear that there are some which walk
     among you disorderly, working not at all, but
     are busybodies.
     12 Now them that are such we command and exhort
     by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness
     they work, and eat their own bread.
     13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
     14 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.
     15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish
     him as a brother.
     16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace
     always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
     17 The salutation of Paul with mine own hand,
     which is the token in every epistle: so I write.
     18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
     you all. Amen.
