Request for Prayer
Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread quickly and be held in honor, just as [it was] with you. 2 And [pray] that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men; for not everyone [ holds to ] the faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, [and He] will strengthen [you] and guard you from the evil [one].[fn] 4 And we have confidence in [the] Lord that you are doing and will continue to do what we command you.[fn] 5 {May} the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
6A Warning against Idleness
Now we command you, brothers, in [the] name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother [who] leads an undisciplined life [that is] not in keeping with the tradition you received[fn] from us. 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because vvv we were not undisciplined among you, 8 nor did we eat vvv anyone’s food without paying for it. Instead, in labor and toil, we worked night and day so that vvv vvv we would not be a burden to any of you. 9 Not that vvv we lack [this] right, but we wanted to offer ourselves [as] an example for you to imitate 10 For even while we were with you, we gave you this command“If anyone vvv is unwilling to work, vvv he shall not eat.”
11Yet we hear that some of you are leading undisciplined lives [and] accomplishing nothing but being busybodies. 12 We command and urge such [people] by our Lord Jesus Christ to begin working vvv quietly to earn their own living 13 But [as for] you, brothers, {do} not grow weary [in] well-doing.
14Take note of anyone who {does} not obey the instructions we have given in [this] letter. {Do} not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed. 15 Yet {do} not regard [him] as an enemy, but warn [him] as a brother.
16Signature and Final Greetings
(1 Corinthians 16:19–24, Colossians 4:15–18)
Now {may} the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all [times] [and] in every way. The Lord [be] with all of you.
17[This] greeting [is] in my own hand — Paul. This is [my] mark in every letter; it is the way I write.
18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with all of you. Amen.[fn]
