帖撒羅尼迦後書 3
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
要主的道快快行開
3 弟兄們，我還有話說，請你們為我們禱告，好叫主的道理快快行開，得著榮耀，正如在你們中間一樣； 2 也叫我們脫離無理之惡人的手，因為人不都是有信心。 3 但主是信實的，要堅固你們，保護你們脫離那惡者[a]。 4 我們靠主深信，你們現在是遵行我們所吩咐的，後來也必要遵行。 5 願主引導你們的心，叫你們愛神，並學基督的忍耐！
不做工的不可吃飯
6 弟兄們，我們奉主耶穌基督的名吩咐你們，凡有弟兄不按規矩而行，不遵守從我們所受的教訓，就當遠離他。 7 你們自己原知道應當怎樣效法我們；因為我們在你們中間，未嘗不按規矩而行， 8 也未嘗白吃人的飯，倒是辛苦勞碌，晝夜做工，免得叫你們一人受累。 9 這並不是因我們沒有權柄，乃是要給你們做榜樣，叫你們效法我們。 10 我們在你們那裡的時候，曾吩咐你們說：若有人不肯做工，就不可吃飯。 11 因我們聽說，在你們中間有人不按規矩而行，什麼工都不做，反倒專管閒事。 12 我們靠主耶穌基督吩咐、勸誡這樣的人，要安靜做工，吃自己的飯。
行善不可喪志
13 弟兄們，你們行善不可喪志。 14 若有人不聽從我們這信上的話，要記下他，不和他交往，叫他自覺羞愧。 15 但不要以他為仇人，要勸他如弟兄。
16 願賜平安的主隨時隨事親自給你們平安！願主常與你們眾人同在！
17 我保羅親筆問你們安——凡我的信都以此為記，我的筆跡就是這樣。 18 願我們主耶穌基督的恩常與你們眾人同在！

Pray for Us
3 Finally, brothers,[a] (A)pray for us, that (B)the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored,[b] as happened among you, 2 and (C)that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For (D)not all have faith. 3 But (E)the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and (F)guard you against (G)the evil one.[c] 4 And (H)we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things that we command. 5 May the Lord (I)direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.
Warning Against Idleness
6 Now we command you, brothers, (J)in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, (K)that you keep away from any (L)brother (M)who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us. 7 For you yourselves know (N)how you ought to imitate us, because (O)we were not idle when we were with you, 8 nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but (P)with toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you. 9 It was (Q)not because we do not have that right, but to give you in ourselves (R)an example to imitate. 10 For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: (S)If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. 11 For we hear that some among you (T)walk in idleness, not busy at work, but (U)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.[d]
13 As for you, brothers, (V)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 (W)have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 (X)Do not regard him as an enemy, but (Y)warn him as a brother.
Benediction
16 Now may (Z)the Lord of peace himself (AA)give you peace at all times in every way. (AB)The Lord be with you all.
17 I, Paul, write (AC)this greeting with my own hand. This is the sign of genuineness in every letter of mine; it is the way I write. 18 (AD)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
