2 Thessalonians 3
King James Version
3 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
4 And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
8 Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
9 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
17 The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
2 Thessalonians 3
21st Century King James Version
3 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the Word of the Lord may have free course and be glorified, even as it is with you,
2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all men have faith.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you and keep you from evil.
4 And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that ye both do, and will do, the things which we command you.
5 And may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother who walketh disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us.
7 For you yourselves know how ye ought to follow us, for we did not behave disorderly among you;
8 neither did we eat any man’s bread for naught, but wrought with labor and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you,
9 not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an example unto you to follow us.
10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you: that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
11 For we hear that there are some among you who walk disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
12 Now those who are such, we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ that they work with quietness and eat their own bread.
13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing.
14 And if any man obey not our word in this epistle, note that man and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
16 Now the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
17 This salutation of Paul is with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
2 Tesalonicenses 3
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
Oración por la difusión del evangelio
3 Por último, hermanos, orad por nosotros para que el mensaje del Señor se difunda rápidamente y se reciba con honor, tal como sucedió entre vosotros. 2 Orad además para que seamos librados de personas perversas y malvadas, porque no todos tienen fe. 3 Pero el Señor es fiel, y él os fortalecerá y os protegerá del maligno. 4 En el Señor tenemos confianza en que vosotros cumplís y seguiréis cumpliendo lo que os hemos enseñado. 5 Que el Señor os lleve a amar como Dios ama, y a perseverar como Cristo perseveró.
Exhortación al trabajo
6 Hermanos, en el nombre del Señor Jesucristo os ordenamos que os apartéis de todo hermano que esté viviendo como un vago y no según las enseñanzas recibidas[a] de nosotros. 7 Vosotros mismos sabéis cómo debéis seguir nuestro ejemplo. Nosotros no vivimos como ociosos entre vosotros, 8 ni comimos el pan de nadie sin pagarlo. Al contrario, día y noche trabajamos arduamente y sin descanso para no ser una carga a ninguno de vosotros. 9 Y lo hicimos así no porque no tuviéramos derecho a tal ayuda, sino para daros buen ejemplo. 10 Porque, incluso cuando estábamos con vosotros, os ordenamos: «El que no quiera trabajar, que tampoco coma».
11 Nos hemos enterado de que entre vosotros hay algunos que andan haciendo el vago, sin trabajar en nada, y que solo se meten en lo que no les importa. 12 A tales personas les ordenamos y exhortamos en el Señor Jesucristo que tranquilamente se pongan a trabajar para ganarse la vida. 13 Hermanos, no os canséis de hacer el bien.
14 Si alguno no obedece las instrucciones que os damos en esta carta, denunciadlo públicamente y no os relacionéis con él, para que se avergüence. 15 Sin embargo, no lo tengáis por enemigo, sino amonestadlo como a hermano.
Saludos finales
16 Que el Señor de paz os conceda su paz siempre y en todas las circunstancias. El Señor sea con todos vosotros.
17 Yo, Pablo, escribo este saludo de mi puño y letra. Esta es la señal distintiva de todas mis cartas; así escribo yo.
18 Que la gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea con todos vosotros.
