Ipanalangin Ninyo Kami

Mga kapatid, bilang pagtatapos, ipanalangin ninyo kami upang ang salita ng Panginoon ay mabilis na lumaganap at parangalan ng lahat, tulad ng ginawa ninyo. Idalangin din ninyong maligtas kami sa mga taong mapaminsala at masasama, sapagkat hindi lahat ay may pananampalataya sa Diyos.

Ngunit tapat ang Panginoon; siya ang magpapatatag at mag-iingat sa inyo laban sa Masama. Dahil sa Panginoon, malaki ang aming pagtitiwala na sinusunod ninyo at patuloy na susundin ang mga itinuro namin sa inyo.

Patnubayan nawa kayo ng Panginoon upang lalo ninyong maunawaan ang pag-ibig ng Diyos at ang katatagang nagmumula kay Cristo.

Babala Laban sa Katamaran

Mga kapatid, iniuutos namin sa inyo sa pangalan ng Panginoong Jesu-Cristo na layuan ninyo ang sinumang kapatid na tamad at ayaw sumunod sa mga turo na ibinigay namin sa inyo. Alam naman ninyo na dapat ninyong tularan ang aming ginawa. Hindi kami naging tamad nang kami'y kasama pa ninyo. Hindi kami nakikain kaninuman nang walang bayad. Nagtrabaho kami araw-gabi upang hindi makabigat kaninuman sa inyo. Ginawa namin ito hindi dahil sa wala kaming karapatan sa inyong tulong, kundi upang kayo'y bigyan ng halimbawang dapat tularan. 10 Nang kami ay kasama pa ninyo, ito ang itinuro namin sa inyo, “Ang ayaw magtrabaho ay hindi dapat kumain.”

11 Binanggit namin ito dahil nabalitaan naming may ilan sa inyong ayaw magtrabaho, at walang inaatupag kundi ang makialam sa buhay ng may buhay. 12 Sa pangalan ng Panginoong Jesu-Cristo, mahigpit naming iniuutos sa mga taong ito na sila'y maghanapbuhay nang maayos at huwag umasa sa iba.

13 Mga kapatid, huwag kayong magsasawa sa paggawa ng mabuti. 14 Maaaring mayroon sa inyo diyan na hindi susunod sa sinasabi namin sa sulat na ito. Kung magkagayon, tandaan ninyo siya at huwag kayong makisama sa kanya, upang siya'y mapahiya. 15 Ngunit huwag naman ninyo siyang ituring na kaaway; sa halip, pagsabihan ninyo siya bilang kapwa mananampalataya.

Bendisyon

16 Ang Panginoon na pinagmumulan ng kapayapaan ang siya nawang magkaloob sa inyo ng kapayapaan sa lahat ng paraan at pagkakataon. Nawa'y sumainyong lahat ang Panginoon.

17 Ako mismong si Pablo ang sumusulat ng pagbating ito. Ito ang aking lagda sa lahat ng sulat ko. Ganito ako sumulat.

18 Sumainyo nawang lahat ang kagandahang-loob ng ating Panginoong Jesu-Cristo.

Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:

And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.

And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

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.

For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

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:

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.

Request for Prayer

As for other matters, brothers and sisters,(A) pray for us(B) that the message of the Lord(C) may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you.(D) And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people,(E) for not everyone has faith. But the Lord is faithful,(F) and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.(G) We have confidence(H) in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we command. May the Lord direct your hearts(I) into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.

Warning Against Idleness

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,(J) we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from(K) every believer who is idle and disruptive(L) and does not live according to the teaching[a] you received from us.(M) For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example.(N) We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked(O) night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help,(P) but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate.(Q) 10 For even when we were with you,(R) we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work(S) shall not eat.”

11 We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies.(T) 12 Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ(U) to settle down and earn the food they eat.(V) 13 And as for you, brothers and sisters, never tire of doing what is good.(W)

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

Final Greetings

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

17 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand,(AC) 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.(AD)

Pray for Us

Finally, brethren, (A)pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you, and (B)that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; (C)for not all have faith.

But (D)the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and (E)guard you from the evil one. And (F)we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, both that you do and will do the things we command you.

Now may (G)the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.

Warning Against Idleness

But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, (H)that you withdraw (I)from every brother who walks (J)disorderly and not according to the tradition which [a]he received from us. For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you; nor did we eat anyone’s bread [b]free of charge, but worked with (K)labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, not because we do not have (L)authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us.

10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. 11 For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are (M)busybodies. 12 Now those who are such we command and [c]exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ (N)that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.

13 But as for you, brethren, (O)do not grow weary in doing good. 14 And if anyone does not obey our word in this [d]epistle, note that person and (P)do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 (Q)Yet do not count him as an enemy, (R)but [e]admonish him as a brother.

Benediction

16 Now may (S)the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.

17 (T)The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is a sign in every [f]epistle; so I write.

18 (U)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
