2 Thessalonians 3:11-18

English Standard Version

¹¹ For we hear that some among you ^(A)walk in idleness, not busy at work, but ^(B)busybodies. ¹² Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.^[a]

¹³ As for you, brothers, ^(C)do not grow weary in doing good. ¹⁴ If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of that person, and ^(D)have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed. ^15 (E)Do not regard him as an enemy, but ^(F)warn him as a brother.

Benediction

¹⁶ Now may ^(G)the Lord of peace himself ^(H)give you peace at all times in every way. ^(I)The Lord be with you all.

¹⁷ I, Paul, write ^(J)this greeting with my own hand. This is the sign of genuineness in every letter of mine; it is the way I write. ^18 (K)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
