1 F or the rest, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also with you;

As to the rest, pray ye, brethren, concerning us, that the word of the Lord may run and may be glorified, as also with you,

2 a nd that we may be delivered from bad and evil men, for faith not of all.

and that we may be delivered from the unreasonable and evil men, for the faith not of all;

3 B ut the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you and keep from evil.

and stedfast is the Lord, who shall establish you, and shall guard from the evil;

4 B ut we trust in the Lord as to you, that the things which we enjoin, ye both do and will do.

and we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that the things that we command you ye both do and will do;

5 B ut the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of the Christ.

and the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to the endurance of the Christ.

6 N ow we enjoin you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw from every brother walking disorderly and not according to the instruction which he received from us.

And we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother disorderly walking, and not after the deliverance that ye received from us,

7 F or ye know yourselves how ye ought to imitate us, because we have not walked disorderly among you;

for yourselves have known how it behoveth to imitate us, because we did not act disorderly among you;

8 n or have we eaten bread from any one without cost; but in toil and hardship working night and day not to be chargeable to any one of you:

nor for nought did we eat bread of any one, but in labour and in travail, night and day working, not to be chargeable to any of you;

9 n ot that we have not the right, but that we might give ourselves as an example to you, in order to your imitating us.

not because we have not authority, but that ourselves a pattern we might give to you, to imitate us;

10 F or also when we were with you we enjoined you this, that if any man does not like to work, neither let him eat.

for even when we were with you, this we did command you, that if any one is not willing to work, neither let him eat,

11 F or we hear that some walking among you disorderly, not working at all, but busybodies.

for we hear of certain walking among you disorderly, nothing working, but over working,

12 N ow such we enjoin and exhort in Lord Jesus Christ, that working quietly they eat their own bread.

and such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness working, their own bread they may eat;

13 B ut ye, brethren, do not faint in well-doing.

and ye, brethren, may ye not be weary doing well,

14 B ut if any one obey not our word by the letter, mark that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed of himself;

and if any one do not obey our word through the letter, this one note ye, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed,

15 a nd do not esteem him as an enemy, but admonish as a brother.

and as an enemy count not, but admonish ye as a brother;

16 B ut the Lord of peace himself give you peace continually in every way. The Lord with you all.

and may the Lord of the peace Himself give to you the peace always in every way; the Lord with you all!

17 T he salutation by the hand of me, Paul, which is mark in every letter; so I write.

The salutation by the hand of me, Paul, which is a sign in every letter; thus I write;

18 T he grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all.

the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all! Amen.
