1 Fi­nal­ly, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glo­ri­fied, even as it is with you: 2 And that we may be de­liv­ered from un­rea­son­able and wicked men: for all men have not faith. 3 But the Lord is faith­ful, who shall sta­b­lish you, and keep you from evil. 4 And we have con­fi­dence in the Lord touch­ing you, that ye both do and will do the things which we com­mand you. 5 And the Lord di­rect your hearts into the love of God, and into the pa­tient wait­ing for Christ. 6 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. 7 For your­selves know how ye ought to fol­low us: for we be­haved not our­selves dis­or­der­ly among you; 8 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: 9 Not be­cause we have not pow­er, but to make our­selves an en­sam­ple unto you to fol­low us. 10 For even when we were with you, this we com­mand­ed you, that if any would not work, nei­ther should he eat. 11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you dis­or­der­ly, work­ing not at all, but are busy­bod­ies. 12 Now them that are such we com­mand and ex­hort by our Lord Je­sus Christ, that with quiet­ness they work, and eat their own bread. 13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well do­ing. 14 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. 15 Yet count him not as an en­e­my, but ad­mon­ish him as a broth­er. 16 Now the Lord of peace him­self give you peace al­ways by all means. The Lord be with you all. 17 The salu­ta­tion of Paul with mine own hand, which is the to­ken in ev­ery epis­tle: so I write. 18 The grace of our Lord Je­sus Christ be with you all. Amen.
