祈求主的道快快传开

最后,弟兄们,请为我们祷告,好叫主的道也像在你们那里一样快快传开,得着荣耀, 也使我们能够脱离那些不讲理的恶人,因为不是人人都有信心。 主是信实的,他必坚定你们,保护你们脱离那恶者。 我们靠着主深深相信,你们现在以及将来都会遵行我们所吩咐的, 愿主引导你们的心,使你们有 神的爱和基督的坚忍。

不可游手好闲

弟兄们,我们奉主耶稣基督的名吩咐你们,凡是游手好闲的弟兄,不按着你们从我们所领受的教训去行,就应当远离他。 你们自己本来就知道应当怎样效法我们,因为我们在你们中间并没有游手好闲, 也没有白吃过谁的饭,反而辛苦劳碌,昼夜作工,免得加重你们任何一人的负担。 这不是因为我们没有权利,而是要给你们作榜样,好让你们效法我们。 10 我们在你们那里的时候,曾经吩咐过你们,如果有人不肯作工,就不可吃饭。 11 因为我们听说,你们中间有人游手好闲,甚么工也不作,反倒专管闲事。 12 我们靠着主耶稣基督,吩咐劝戒这样的人,要安静作工,自食其力。 13 弟兄们,你们行善不可灰心。 14 如果有人不听从我们这封信上的训勉,要把这个人记下来,不可和他来往,好叫他自己觉得惭愧。 15 但不要把他看作仇敌,却要劝他好象劝弟兄一样。

祝福

16 愿赐平安的主亲自随时随地赐平安给你们。愿主与你们众人同在。

17 我保罗亲笔问候你们。这是我每一封信的记号;我的笔迹就是这样。 18 愿我们主耶稣基督的恩惠与你们众人同在。

Pray for Us

In addition, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you,(A) and that we may be delivered(B) from wicked and evil people, for not all have faith.[a] But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.(C) We have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will continue to do what we command. May the Lord direct your hearts to God’s love and Christ’s endurance.(D)

Warning against Irresponsible Behavior

Now we command you, brothers and sisters, in the name(E) of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from every brother or sister(F) who is idle and does not live[b] according to the tradition(G) received(H) from us. For you yourselves know how you should imitate(I) us: We were not idle among you; we did not eat(J) anyone’s food free of charge;(K) instead, we labored(L) and toiled,(M) working(N) night and day, so that we would not be a burden(O) to any of you. It is not that we don’t have the right(P) to support, but we did it to make ourselves an example to you so that you would imitate(Q) us. 10 In fact, when we were with you, this is what we commanded you: “If anyone isn’t willing to work, he should not eat.”(R) 11 For we hear that there are some among you who are idle. They are not busy but busybodies.(S) 12 Now we command and exhort such people by the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and provide for themselves.[c] 13 But as for you, brothers and sisters, do not grow weary(T) in doing good.

14 If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take note of that person; don’t associate with him, so that he may be ashamed. 15 Yet don’t consider him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.

Final Greetings

16 May the Lord of peace(U) himself give you peace always in every way.(V) The Lord be with all of you.(W) 17 I, Paul, am writing this greeting with my own hand,(X) which is an authenticating mark in every letter; this is how I write. 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
