2 Thessalonians 3:10-18

10For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.

11For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies.

12Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.

13As for you, brothers, do not grow weary in doing good.

14If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of that person, and have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed.

15Do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.

16Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.

17I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. This is the sign of genuineness in every letter of mine; it is the way I write.

18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
