2 Thessalonians 3:12-18

12Now such persons we command and 1exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to 2work in quiet fashion and eat their own bread. 13But as for you, 3brethren, 4do not grow weary of doing good.

14If anyone does not obey our 5instruction 6 7in this letter, take special note of that person 8 9and do not associate with him, so that he will be 10put to shame. 15Yet 11do not regard him as an enemy, but 12 13admonish him as a 14brother.

16Now 15may the Lord of peace 16Himself continually grant you peace in every 17circumstance. 18The Lord be with you all!

17 19I, Paul, write this greeting 20with my own hand, and this is a distinguishing mark in every letter; this is the way I write. 18 21The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
