Warning Against Idleness

⁶ In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,^(A) we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from^(B) every believer who is idle and disruptive^(C) and does not live according to the teaching^[a] you received from us.^(D)

¹⁴ Take special note of anyone who does not obey our instruction in this letter. Do not associate with them,^(A) in order that they may feel ashamed.^{(B) 15} Yet do not regard them as an enemy, but warn them as you would a fellow believer.^(C)

Final Greetings

¹⁶ Now may the Lord of peace^(D) himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.^(E)

¹⁷ I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand,^(F) which is the distinguishing mark in all my letters. This is how I write.

¹⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.^(G)
