1 For the rest, brethren, be praying for us, - that, the word of the Lord, may be running, and gaining glory, according as it did even with you;
2 And that we may be rescued from the presuming and wicked men; for, not all, hold the faith.
3 Faithful, is the Lord, - who will confirm you, and guard you from the wicked one:
4 We are persuaded, however, in the Lord, as touching you, - that, what things we give in charge, Ye bothare doing and will do; -
5 But may, the Lord, guide your hearts into the love of God, and into the endurance of the Christ.
6 Howbeit, we charge you, brethren, - that, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, ye be withdrawing yourselves from every brother - who, in a disorderly way, doth walk, and not according to the instruction which ye received from us.
7 For, ye yourselves, know, how needful it is to be imitating us, in that we were not disorderly among you,
8 Nor, as a free-gift, did eat, bread, from anyone, but, with toil and hardship, night and day, working, - that we might not burden any of you; -
9 Not because we have not authority, but that, ourselves, as an ensample, we might hold forth unto you, - to the end ye might he imitating us.
10 For, even when we were with you, this, were we giving in charge unto you, - that, if any will not work, neither let him eat!
11 We hear, in fact, of some who are walking among you in a disorderly way, at nothing, working, yet too busily working!
12 Now, such as these, we charge and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, - that, with quietness, working, their own bread, they be eating.
13 But, ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing; -
