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

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

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

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

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

8 n or 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;

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 have not authority, but that ourselves a pattern we might give to you, to 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 did command you, that if any one is not willing to work, neither let him eat,

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

11 f or we hear of certain walking among you disorderly, nothing working, but over working,

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 a nd ye, brethren, may ye not be weary doing well,

The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.

18 t he grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all! Amen.

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