2 Thessalonians 3
Reading 2 Thessalonians chapter 3 in the Darby Bible, public-domain text from 1890.
Verses 1–10
1 For the rest, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also with you;
2 and that we may be delivered from bad and evil men, for faith [is] not [the portion] of all.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you and keep [you] from evil.
4 But we trust in the Lord as to you, that the things which we enjoin, ye both do and will do.
5 But the Lord direct your hearts into the love ofGod, and into the patience of the Christ.
6 Now we enjoin you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw from every brother walking disorderly and not according to the instruction which he received from us.
7 For ye know yourselves how ye ought to imitate us, because we have not walked disorderly among you;
8 nor have we eaten bread from any one without cost; but in toil and hardship working night and day not to be chargeable to any one of you:
9 not that we have not the right, but that we might give ourselves as an example to you, in order to your imitating us.
10 For also when we were with you we enjoined you this, that if any man does not like to work, neither let him eat.
