2 Thessalonians 3:5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ May the Lord continue to direct your hearts to God’s love and Christ’s patient endurance.

Warnings Against Idleness

⁶ We instruct you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to avoid every brother who is walking idly and not in accordance with the teaching that you received from us. ⁷ In fact, you yourselves know how necessary it is for you to imitate us, because we were not idle among you.
