Kahilingang Panalangin
3 Bilang pangwakas, mga kapatid, ipanalangin ninyo kami upang ang salita ng Panginoon ay mabilis na lumaganap at pahalagahan ng lahat, tulad ng nangyari sa inyo. 2 Idalangin din ninyong mailigtas kami mula sa mga taong masasama at makasalanan. Hindi naman lahat ay sumasampalataya. 3 Ngunit tapat ang Panginoon; siya ang magpapalakas sa inyo at magbabantay sa inyo laban sa Masama. 4 Nagtitiwala kami sa Panginoon na ginagawa ninyo at patuloy na sinusunod ang mga iniutos namin. 5 Gabayan nawa ng Panginoon ang inyong kalooban tungo sa pag-ibig ng Diyos at pagpupunyagi ni Cristo.
Babala Laban sa Katamaran
6 Mga kapatid, inuutusan namin kayo sa ngalan ng Panginoong Jesu-Cristo na umiwas sa sinumang kapatid na tamad at hindi namumuhay ayon sa itinuro namin sa inyo. 7 Alam naman ninyong dapat ninyo kaming tularan. Hindi kami naging tamad nang kami'y kasama ninyo. 8 Hindi kami kumain ng tinapay ng sinuman nang hindi nagbabayad. Nagtrabaho kami gabi't araw upang hindi kami makabigat kaninuman sa inyo. 9 Ginawa namin ito hindi dahil sa wala kaming karapatan sa inyong tulong, kundi upang bigyan kayo ng halimbawang dapat ninyong sundan. 10 Noon pa mang kasama ninyo kami'y ganito na ang iniutos namin sa inyo: Huwag ninyong pakainin ang sinumang ayaw magtrabaho. 11 Binanggit namin ito dahil nabalitaan namin na ang ilan sa inyo'y tamad at ayaw magtrabaho. Wala silang inaatupag kundi ang makialam sa buhay ng may buhay. 12 Alang-alang sa Panginoon, inuutusan namin ang mga ganoong tao na magtrabaho nang maayos para sa sarili nilang ikabubuhay. 13 Para sa inyo, mga kapatid, huwag kayong mapapagod sa paggawa ng mabuti. 14 Tandaan ninyo ang sinuman na ayaw sumunod sa tagubilin namin sa sulat na ito. Iwasan ninyo siya upang siya'y mapahiya. 15 Ngunit huwag naman ninyo siyang ituring na kaaway; sa halip ay paalalahanan ninyo siya bilang kapatid.
Pagpapala
16 Ang Panginoon na bukal ng kapayapaan ang siya nawang magkaloob sa inyo ng kapayapaan sa lahat ng paraan at pagkakataon. Sumainyong lahat ang Panginoon.
17 Ako mismong si Pablo ang sumulat ng pagbating ito. Ito ang tanda sa lahat ng aking mga liham. Ganito akong sumulat. 18 Ang kagandahang-loob ng Panginoong Jesu-Cristo ang sumainyong lahat.

Pray for Us
3 And now, brothers, pray for us. Pray that the Lord’s teaching will continue to spread quickly. And pray that people will give honor to that teaching, just as happened with you. 2 And pray that we will be protected from bad and evil people. (Not all people believe in the Lord.)
3 But the Lord is faithful. He will give you strength and protect you from the Evil One. 4 The Lord makes us feel sure that you are doing the things we told you. And we know that you will continue to do those things. 5 We pray that the Lord will lead your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s patience.
The Duty to Work
6 Brothers, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ we command you to stay away from any believer who refuses to work. People who refuse to work are not following the teaching that we gave them. 7 You yourselves know that you should live as we live. We were not lazy when we were with you. 8 And when we ate another person’s food, we always paid for it. We worked and worked so that we would not be a trouble to any of you. We worked night and day. 9 We had the right to ask you to help us. But we worked to take care of ourselves so that we would be an example for you to follow. 10 When we were with you, we gave you this rule: “If anyone will not work, he will not eat.”
11 We hear that some people in your group refuse to work. They do nothing. And they busy themselves in other people’s lives. 12 We command those people to work quietly and earn their own food. In the Lord Jesus Christ we beg them to do this. 13 Brothers, never become tired of doing good.
14 If anyone does not obey what we tell you in this letter, then remember who he is. Do not associate with him. Then maybe he will feel ashamed. 15 But do not treat him as an enemy. Warn him as a brother.
Final Words
16 We pray that the Lord of peace will give you peace at all times and in every way. May the Lord be with all of you.
17 I am Paul, and I end this letter now in my own handwriting. All my letters have this to show they are from me. This is the way I write.
18 May our Lord Jesus Christ show all of you his grace.

Request for Prayer
3 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) 2 And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people,(E) for not everyone has faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful,(F) and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.(G) 4 We have confidence(H) in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we command. 5 May the Lord direct your hearts(I) into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.
Warning Against Idleness
6 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) 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example.(N) We were not idle when we were with you, 8 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. 9 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)
