Christ directs you to the state of peace - 2 Thessalonians 3:1-18

2 Thessalonians 3:1-18

3 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord (Christ) may have (run) free course, and be glorified (triumph gloriously), even as it is with you:

2 And that we may be delivered (to draw or to snatch from danger) from unreasonable (out of place, out of the way, strange, unnatural) and wicked (evil in nature, bad, ill) men: for all men have not faith.

3 But the Lord (Christ) is faithful, who shall stablish (set forth, establish) you, and keep (guard) you from evil (evil one).

4 And we have confidence (faith) in (remaining within) the Lord Christ) touching (on account of) you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command (charge) you.

5 And the Lord (Christ) direct (guide) your hearts into (motion towards) the love of God, and into the patient (patience, as) waiting for (of) Christ.

6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly (not keeping the ranks, neglectful of duties), and not after the tradition (the acts of delivering one to another) which he received of us.

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

8 Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:

9 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly (not keeping rank, neglectful of duties), working not at all (in nothing), but are busybodies (to be busy about useless matters).

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

13 But ye, brethren, be not weary (faint) in well doing.

14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

16 Now the Lord (Lord Christ) of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord (Lord Christ) be with you all.

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

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

Christ directs you to the state of peace
