1Finally[G3063], brethren[G80], pray[G4336]for[G4012]us[G2257], that[G2443] the word[G3056] of the Lord[G2962] may have free course[G5143], and[G2532] be glorified[G1392], even[G2532]as[G2531] it is with[G4314]you[G5209]:
2And[G2532]that[G2443] we may be delivered[G4506]from[G575]unreasonable[G824]and[G2532]wicked[G4190]men[G444]: for[G1063]all[G3956]men[G444] have not[G3756]faith[G4102].
3But[G1161] the Lord[G2962]is[G2076]faithful[G4103], who[G3739] shall stablish[G4741]you[G5209], and[G2532]keep[G5442]you[G5209]from[G575]evil[G4190].
4And[G1161] we have confidence[G3982]in[G1722] the Lord[G2962]touching[G1909]you[G5209], that[G3754] ye both[G2532]do[G4160]and[G2532] will do[G4160] the things which[G3739] we command[G3853]you[G5213].
5And[G1161] the Lord[G2962]direct[G2720]your[G5216]hearts[G2588]into[G1519] the love[G26] of God[G2316], and[G2532]into[G1519] the patient waiting[G5281] for Christ[G5547].
6Now[G1161] we command[G3853]you[G5213], brethren[G80], in[G1722] the name[G3686]of[G3844]our[G2257]Lord[G2962]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547], that ye withdraw[G4724]yourselves[G5209]from[G575]every[G3956]brother[G80] that walketh[G4043]disorderly[G814], and[G2532]not[G3361]after[G2596] the tradition[G3862]which[G3739] he received[G3880]of[G3844]us[G2257].
7For[G1063]yourselves[G846]know[G1492]how[G4459] ye ought[G1163] to follow[G3401]us[G2248]: for[G3754] we behaved[G812]not[G3756] ourselves disorderly[G812]among[G1722]you[G5213];
8Neither[G3761] did we eat[G5315]any[G5100] man's bread[G740] for nought[G1432]; but[G235]wrought[G2038]with[G1722]labour[G2873]and[G2532]travail[G3449]night[G3571]and[G2532]day[G2250], that[G4314] we might[G1912]not[G3361] be chargeable[G1912] to any[G5100] of you[G5216]:
9Not[G3756]because[G3754] we have[G2192]not[G3756]power[G1849], but[G235]to[G2443]make[G1325]ourselves[G1438] an ensample[G5179] unto you[G5213]to[G1519]follow[G3401]us[G2248].
10For[G1063]even[G2532]when[G3753] we were[G2258]with[G4314]you[G5209], this[G5124] we commanded[G3853]you[G5213], that[G3754] if any[G1536]would[G2309]not[G3756]work[G2038], neither[G3366] should he eat[G2068].
11For[G1063] we hear[G191] that there are some[G5100] which walk[G4043]among[G1722]you[G5213]disorderly[G814], working[G2038] not at all[G3367], but[G235] are busybodies[G4020].
12Now[G1161] them that[G2443] are such[G5108] we command[G3853]and[G2532]exhort[G3870]by[G1223]our[G2257]Lord[G2962]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547], that[G2443]with[G3326]quietness[G2271] they work[G2038], and[G2532]eat[G2068] their own[G1438]bread[G740].
13But[G1161]ye[G5210], brethren[G80], be[G1573]not[G3361]weary[G1573] in well doing[G2569].
14And[G1161] if any man[G1536]obey[G5219]not[G3756]our[G2257]word[G3056]by[G1223] this epistle[G1992], note[G4593]that[G5126]man[G1536], and[G2532]have[G4874]no[G3361] company with[G4874]him[G846], that[G2443] he may be ashamed[G1788].
15Yet[G2532]count[G2233] him not[G3361]as[G5613] an enemy[G2190], but[G235]admonish[G3560] him as[G5613] a brother[G80].
16Now[G1161] the Lord[G2962] of peace[G1515]himself[G846]give[G1325]you[G5213]peace[G1515]always[G1223]by[G1722]all[G3956]means[G5158]. The Lord[G2962] be with[G3326]you[G5216]all[G3956].

The salutation[G783] of Paul[G3972] with mine own[G1699]hand[G5495], which[G3739]is[G2076] the token[G4592]in[G1722]every[G3956]epistle[G1992]: so[G3779] I write[G1125].
18
The grace[G5485] of our[G2257]Lord[G2962]Jesus[G2424]Christ[G5547] be with[G3326]you[G5216]all[G3956]. Amen[G281]. The second[G1208] epistle to[G4314] the Thessalonians[G2331] was written[G1125]from[G575]Athens[G116].
