2 Thessalonians 3:6-15
6NowG1161 we commandG3853 youG4771, brothersG80, inG1722 the nameG3686 of ourG1473 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to keep awayG4724 fromG575 anyG3956 brotherG80 who leadsG4043 an undisciplined lifeG814 that is notG3361 in keeping withG2596 theG3588 traditionG3862 you receivedG38801 fromG3844 usG1473. 7ForG1063 you yourselvesG846 knowG1492 howG4459 you oughtG1163 to imitateG3401 usG1473, becauseG3754 we were not undisciplinedG3756G812 amongG1722 youG4771, 8norG3761 did we eatG5315 anyone’sG3844G5100 foodG740 without paying for itG1432. InsteadG235, inG1722 laborG2873 andG2532 toilG3449, we workedG2038 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250 so thatG4314 we would not be a burdenG3361G3588G1912 to anyG5100 of youG4771. 9NotG3756 thatG3754 we lackG3756G2192 this rightG1849, butG235 we wanted toG2443 offerG1325 ourselvesG1438 as an exampleG5179 for youG4771 toG1519 imitateG3401. 10ForG1063 evenG2532 whileG3753 we wereG1510 withG4314 youG4771, we gave you this commandG3853G4771G3778: “IfG1487 anyoneG5100 is unwillingG3756G2309 to workG2038, he shall not eatG3366G2068.”
11ForG1063 we hear thatG191 someG5100 ofG1722 youG4771 are leadingG4043 undisciplined livesG814, accomplishingG2038 nothingG3367, butG235 being busybodiesG4020. 12We commandG3853 andG2532 urgeG3870 suchG5108 people byG1722 our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 toG2443 begin workingG2038 quietlyG3326G2271 to earn their own livingG2068G1438G3588G740. 13ButG1161 as for youG4771, brothersG80, do notG3361 grow wearyG1573 in well-doingG2569.
Take noteG4593 ofG3778 anyone whoG5100 does notG3756 obeyG5219 theG3588 instructions we have givenG3056G1473 inG1223 this letterG1992. Do notG3361 associate withG4874 himG846, so thatG2443 he may be ashamedG1788. 15YetG2532 do notG3361 regardG2233 him asG5613 an enemyG2190, butG235 admonishG3560 him asG5613 a brotherG80.
