CHAP. III.

He craueth their prayers for himselfe, 3 testifieth what confidence hee hath in them, 5 maketh request to God in their behalfe, 6 giueth them diuers precepts, especially to shun idlenesse, and ill company, 16 And last of all concludeth with prayer and salutation.

¹Finally, brethren, pray for vs, that the word of the Lord may haue free course, and be glorified, euen as it is with you:¹

²And that we may bee deliuered from vnreasonable and wicked men: for all men haue not faith.²

³But the Lord is faithfull, who shall stablish you, and keepe you from euill.

⁴And wee haue confidence in the Lord touching you, that yee both doe, and will doe the things which we command you.

⁵And the Lord direct your hearts into the loue of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.⁵

⁶Now we command you, brethren, in the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, that ye withdraw your selues from euery brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which hee receiued of vs.

⁷For your selues know how yee ought to follow vs: for wee behaued not our selues disorderly among you,

⁸Neither did wee eate any mans bread for nought: but wrought with labour and trauaile night and day, that wee might not bee chargeable to any of you.

⁹Not because we haue not power, but to make our selues an ensample vnto you to follow vs.

¹⁰For euen when wee were with you, this wee commanded you, that if any would not worke, neither should he eate.

¹¹For we heare that there are some which walke among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busi-bodies.

¹²Now them that are such, we command, and exhort by our Lord Iesus Christ, that with quietnesse they worke, and eat their owne bread.

¹³But ye, brethren, be not wearie in well doing.¹³

¹⁴And if any man obey not our word, by this Epistle note that man, and haue no company with him, that he may be ashamed,¹⁴

¹⁵Yet count him not as an enemie, but admonish him as a brother.

¹⁶Now the Lord of peace himselfe, giue you peace alwayes, by all meanes. The Lord be with you all.

¹⁷The salutation of Paul, with mine owne hand, which is the token in euery Epistle: so I write.

¹⁸The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you all, Amen. The second Epistle to the Thessalonians was written from Athens.
