3:1

Το λοιπον προσευχεσθε αδελφοι περι ημων ινα ο λογος του Κυριου τρεχη και δοξαζηται καθως και προς υμας

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also it is with you;

3:2

και ινα ρυσθωμεν απο των ατοπων και πονηρων ανθρωπων ου γαρ παντων η πιστις

and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for all have not faith.

3:3

Πιστος δε εστιν ο Κυριος ος στηριξει υμας και φυλαξει απο του πονηρου

But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and guard you from the evil one.

3:4

πεποιθαμεν δε εν Κυριω εφ υμας οτι α παραγγελλομεν και ποιειτε και ποιησετε

And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command.

3:5

Ο δε Κυριος κατευθυναι υμων τας καρδιας εις την αγαπην του Θεου και εις την υπομονην του Χριστου

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.

3:6

Παραγγελλομεν δε υμιν αδελφοι εν ονοματι του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου στελλεσθαι υμας απο παντος αδελφου ατακτως περιπατουντος και μη κατα την παραδοσιν ην παρελαβοσαν παρ ημων

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 they received of us.

3:7

αυτοι γαρ οιδατε πως δει μιμεισθαι ημας οτι ουκ ητακτησαμεν εν υμιν

For yourselves know how ye ought to imitate us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

3:8

ουδε δωρεαν αρτον εφαγομεν παρα τινος αλλ εν κοπω και μοχθω νυκτος και ημερας εργαζομενοι προς το μη επιβαρησαι τινα υμων

neither did we eat bread for nought at any man’s hand, but in labor and travail, working night and day, that we might not burden any of you:

3:9

ουχ οτι ουκ εχομεν εξουσιαν αλλ ινα εαυτους τυπον δωμεν υμιν εις το μιμεισθαι ημας

not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you, that ye should imitate us.

3:10

και γαρ οτε ημεν προς υμας τουτο παρηγγελλομεν υμιν οτι Ει τις ου θελει εργαζεσθαι μηδε εσθιετω

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

¹

3:11

Ακουομεν γαρ τινας περιπατουντας εν υμιν ατακτως μηδεν εργαζομενους αλλα περιεργαζομενους

For we hear of some that walk among you disorderly, that work not at all, but are busybodies.

3:12

τοις δε τοιουτοις παραγγελλομεν και παρακαλουμεν εν Κυριω Ιησου Χριστω ινα μετα ησυχιας εργαζομενοι τον εαυτων αρτον εσθιωσιν

Now them that are such we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

3:13

Υμεις δε αδελφοι μη εγκακησητε καλοποιουντες

But ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing.

3:14

Ει δε τις ουχ υπακουει τω λογω ημων δια της επιστολης τουτον σημειουσθε μη συναναμιγνυσθαι αυτω ινα εντραπη

And if any man obeyeth not our word by this epistle, note that man, that ye have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.

3:15

και μη ως εχθρον ηγεισθε αλλα νουθετειτε ως αδελφον

And yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

3:16

Αυτος δε ο Κυριος της ειρηνης δωη υμιν την ειρηνην δια παντος εν παντι τροπω ο Κυριος μετα παντων υμων

Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.

3:17

Ο ασπασμος τη εμη χειρι Παυλου ο εστιν σημειον εν παση επιστολη ουτως γραφω

The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.

3:18

Η χαρις του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου μετα παντων υμων

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