2 Thessalonians 3 :: Bible in Basic English (BBE)

Exhortation

2Th 3:1For 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;

2Th 3:2

2Th 3:2And that we may be made free from foolish and evil men; for not all have faith.

2Th 3:3

2Th 3:3But the Lord is true, who will give you strength and keep you safe from evil.

2Th 3:4

2Th 3:4And we have faith in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things about which we give you orders.

2Th 3:5

2Th 3:5And may your hearts be guided by the Lord into the love of God and quiet waiting for Christ.

2Th 3:6

2Th 3:6Now 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.

2Th 3:7

2Th 3:7For you yourselves are used to taking us as your example, because our life among you was ruled by order,

2Th 3:8

2Th 3:8And 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:

2Th 3:9

2Th 3:9Not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, so that you might do the same.

2Th 3:10

2Th 3:10For even when we were with you we gave you orders, saying, If any man does no work, let him not have food.

2Th 3:11

2Th 3:11For 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.

2Th 3:12

2Th 3:12Now to such we give orders and make request in the Lord Jesus, that, working quietly, they get their living.

2Th 3:13

2Th 3:13And you, my brothers, do not get tired of well-doing.

2Th 3:14

2Th 3:14And 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.

2Th 3:15

2Th 3:15Have no feeling of hate for him, but take him in hand seriously as a brother.

2Th 3:16

2Th 3:16Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. May the Lord be with you all.

2Th 3:17

2Th 3:17These 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.

2Th 3:18

2Th 3:18May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
