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 A nd that we may be delivered from perverse and wicked men, for the faith is not of everyone.

And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

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

But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

4 A nd we have confidence in the Lord regarding you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.

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

5 A nd the Lord make your hearts upright in the charity of God and in the hope of the 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.

7 F or you know in what manner you ought to imitate us, for we did not walk disorderly among you,

8 n either did we eat any man’s bread for nought, but working with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of 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:

9 N ot because we did not have authority, but to give you an example that you might imitate us.

Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

10 F or even when we were with you, this we declared unto you, that if anyone desires not to work neither should he eat.

11 F or we hear that there are some who walk among you out of order, not working at all, but are busybodies.

For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

12 N ow those that are such, we charge and exhort in our Lord Jesus Christ, that working with quietness, they eat their bread.

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 B ut ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

14 A nd if anyone does not hearken unto our word by this epistle, note that one and do not join with him, that he may be ashamed.

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.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
