2 Thessalonians - douay rheims

Chapter 3

¹ For the rest, brethren, pray for us, that the word of God may run, and may be glorified, even as among you;
² And that we may be delivered from importunate and evil men; for all men have not faith.
³ But God is faithful, who will strengthen and keep you from evil.
⁴ And we have confidence concerning you in the Lord, that the things which we command, you both do, and will do.
⁵ And the Lord direct your hearts, in the charity of God, and the patience of Christ.
⁶ And we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the tradition which they have received of us.
⁷ For yourselves know how you ought to imitate us: for we were not disorderly among you;
⁸ Neither did we eat any man's bread for nothing, but in labour and in toil we worked night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you.
⁹ Not as if we had not power: but that we might give ourselves a pattern unto you, to imitate us.
¹⁰ For also when we were with you, this we declared to you: that, if any man will not work, neither let him eat.
¹¹ For we have heard there are some among you who walk disorderly, working not at all, but curiously meddling.
¹² Now we charge them that are such, and beseech them by the Lord Jesus Christ, that, working with silence, they would eat their own bread.
¹³ But you, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
¹⁴ And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed:
¹⁵ Yet do not esteem him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
¹⁶ Now the Lord of peace himself give you everlasting peace in every place. The Lord be with you all.
¹⁷ The salutation of Paul with my own hand; which is the sign in every epistle. So I write.
¹⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Chapter 3

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 will establish you, and keep you from evil.
⁴ And we have confidence in the Lord concerning 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 from 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 naught; but wrought with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
⁹ Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves a pattern to 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 who walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busy-bodies.
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 obeyeth 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 my 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.

Chapter 3

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 of God, 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.
¹¹ For we hear that [there are] some walking among you disorderly, not working at all, but busybodies.
¹² Now such we enjoin and exhort in [the] Lord Jesus Christ, that working quietly they eat their own bread.
¹³ But *ye*, brethren, do not faint in well-doing.
¹⁴ But if any one obey not our word by the letter, mark that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed of himself;
¹⁵ and do not esteem him as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother.
¹⁶ But the Lord of peace himself give you peace continually in every way. The Lord [be] with you all.
¹⁷ The salutation by the hand of me, Paul, which is [the] mark in every letter; so I write.
¹⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all.

¹⁰ For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, If any will not work, neither let him eat.

Chapter 3

¹ For the rest, my brothers, let there be prayer for us that the word of the Lord may go forward with increasing glory, even as it does with you;
² And that we may be made free from foolish and evil men; for not all have faith.
³ But the Lord is true, who will give you strength and keep you safe from evil.
⁴ And we have faith in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things about which we give you orders.
⁵ And may your hearts be guided by the Lord into the love of God and quiet waiting for Christ.
⁶ Now we give you orders, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from all those whose behaviour is not well ordered and in harmony with the teaching which they had from us.
⁷ For you yourselves are used to taking us as your example, because our life among you was ruled by order,
⁸ And we did not take food from any man for nothing, but were working hard night and day not to be a trouble to any of you:
⁹ Not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, so that you might do the same.
¹⁰ For even when we were with you we gave you orders, saying, If any man does no work, let him not have food.
¹¹ For it has come to our ears that there are some among you whose behaviour is uncontrolled, who do no work at all, but are over-interested in the business of others.
¹² Now to such we give orders and make request in the Lord Jesus, that, working quietly, they get their living.
¹³ And you, my brothers, do not get tired of well-doing.
¹⁴ And if any man does not give attention to what we have said in this letter, take note of that man, and keep away from him, so that he may be shamed.
¹⁵ Have no feeling of hate for him, but take him in hand seriously as a brother.
¹⁶ Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. May the Lord be with you all.
¹⁷ These words of love to you at the end are in my writing, Paul's writing, and this is the mark of every letter from me.
¹⁸ May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
