* Finally , brethren , pray (5737 ) for us , that the word of the Lord may have free course (5725 ), and be glorified (5747 ), even as it is with you : * And that we may be delivered (5686 ) from unreasonable and wicked men : for all men have not faith . * But the Lord is (5748 ) faithful , who shall stablish (5692 ) you , and keep (5692 ) you from evil . * And we have confidence (5754 ) in the Lord touching you , that ye both do (5719 ) and will do (5692 ) the things which we command (5719 ) you . * And the Lord direct (5659 ) your hearts into the love of God , and into the patient waiting for Christ . * Now we command (5719 ) you , brethren , in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ , that ye withdraw (5733 ) yourselves from every brother that walketh (5723 ) disorderly , and not after the tradition which he received (5627 ) of us . * For yourselves know (5758 ) how ye ought (5748 ) to follow (5738 ) us : for we behaved not ourselves disorderly (5656 ) among you ; * Neither did we eat (5627 ) any mans bread for nought ; but wrought (5740 ) with labour and travail night and day , that we might not be chargeable (5658 ) to any of you : * Not because we have (5719 ) not power , but to make (5632 ) ourselves an ensample unto you to follow (5738 ) us . * For even when we were (5713 ) with you , this we commanded (5707 ) you , that if any would (5719 ) not work (5738 ), neither should he eat (5720 ). * For we hear (5719 ) that there are some which walk (5723 ) among you disorderly , working (5740 ) not at all , but are busybodies (5740 ). * Now them that are such we command (5719 ) and exhort (5719 ) by our Lord Jesus Christ , that with quietness they work (5740 ), and eat (5725 ) their own bread . * But ye , brethren , be not weary (5661 ) in well doing (5723 ). * And if any man obey (5719 ) not our word by this epistle , note (5732 ) that man , and have no company with (5732 ) him , that he may be ashamed (5652 ). * Yet count (5737 ) him not as an enemy , but admonish (5720 ) him as a brother . * Now the Lord of peace himself give (5630 ) you peace always by all means . The Lord be with you all . * The salutation of Paul with mine own hand , which is (5748 ) the token in every epistle : so I write (5719 ). * The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all . Amen .The second epistle to the Thessalonians was written (5648 ) from Athens .#
