2 Thessalonians 3 — Context

10

For even when we were with you, we used to give you this command:“If anyone is not willing to work, neither should he eat.”

11

For we hear that some among you are living an undisciplined life, not doing their own work but meddling in the work of others.

12

Now such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and so provide their own food to eat.

13

But you, brothers and sisters, do not grow weary in doing what is right.

14

But if anyone does not obey our message through this letter, take note of him and do not associate closely with him, so that he may be ashamed.

15

Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

16

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