2 Thessalonians 3 — Context

10

For even when we were with you we gave you orders, saying, If any man does no work, let him not have food.

11

For it has come to our ears that there are some among you whose behaviour is uncontrolled, who do no work at all, but are over-interested in the business of others.

12

Now to such we give orders and make request in the Lord Jesus, that, working quietly, they get their living.

13

And you, my brothers, do not get tired of well-doing.

14

And if any man does not give attention to what we have said in this letter, take note of that man, and keep away from him, so that he may be shamed.

15

Have no feeling of hate for him, but take him in hand seriously as a brother.

16

Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. May the Lord be with you all.
