1Finally, my brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have [free] course and be glorified, even as [it] also is] with you. 2And pray that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for all [do] not have] the faith. 3But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you and guard [you] from the evil. 4And we have confidence in [the] Lord regarding you, that you both do and will do the things which we command you. 5And may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ. 6Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks disorderly, and not after the teaching which he received from us. 7For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us. For we did not behave ourselves disorderly among you, 8neither did we eat any man's bread freely, but we worked with labor and travail night and day, so that we might not be heavy on any of you 9(not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example to you, to imitate us). 10For even when we were with you, we commanded you this, that if anyone would not work, neither should he eat. 11For we hear that there are some who walk disorderly among you, not working at all, but being busybodies. 12Now we command and exhort those who are such, by our Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with quietness and eat their own bread. 13But you, brothers, do not be weary in well doing. 14And if anyone does not obey our word by this letter, mark that one and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15Yet do not count [him] as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother. 16And may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord [be] with you all. 17The greeting of Paul by my own hand which is [the] sign in every letter, so I write. 18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.
