* Finally , brethren , pray for us , that the word of the Lord may have free course , and be glorified , even as it is with you : * And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men : for all men have not faith . * But the Lord is faithful , who shall stablish you , and keep you from evil . * And we have confidence in the Lord touching you , that ye both do and will do the things which we command you . * And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God , and into the patient waiting for Christ . * Now we command you , brethren , in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ , that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly , and not after the tradition which he received of us . * For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us : for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among 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 : * Not because we have not power , but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us . * For even when we were with you , this we commanded you , that if any would not work , neither should he eat . * For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly , working not at all , but are busybodies . * Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ , that with quietness they work , and eat their own bread . * But ye , brethren , be not weary in well doing . * And if any man obey not our word by this epistle , note that man , and have no company with him , that he may be ashamed . * Yet count him not as an enemy , but admonish him as a brother . * Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means . The Lord be with you all . * The salutation of Paul with mine own hand , which is the token in every epistle : so I write . * The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all . Amen .
