2 Tesalonicenses 3
La Palabra (España)
Fidelidad de Dios
3 Por lo demás, hermanos, rogad por nosotros para que la palabra del Señor prosiga el avance glorioso que ha conocido en Tesalónica. 2 Rogad también para que el Señor nos libre de la gente insolente y malvada, porque no todos aceptan la fe. 3 ¡Pero el Señor es fiel! Él os hará fuertes y os librará del maligno. 4 Gracias a él podemos confiar en que cumplís y cumpliréis lo que os hemos inculcado. 5 Que el Señor, pues, encamine vuestros corazones para que améis a Dios y esperéis a Cristo sin desfallecer.
La obligación del trabajo
6 Finalmente, hermanos, esto es lo que os mandamos en nombre de Jesucristo, el Señor: que os mantengáis apartados de todo hermano que viva ociosamente y no siga la tradición que ha recibido de nosotros. 7 Conocéis perfectamente cómo podéis imitarnos, pues no vivimos ociosamente entre vosotros 8 ni comimos de balde el pan de nadie. Al contrario, trabajamos día y noche hasta casi extenuarnos, con el fin de no ser gravosos a ninguno de vosotros. 9 ¡Y teníamos derecho a ello! Pero quisimos ofreceros un ejemplo que imitar.
10 Estando entre vosotros os inculcamos ya esta norma: el que no quiera trabajar, que tampoco coma. 11 Y es que nos hemos enterado de que algunos viven ociosamente entre vosotros: en lugar de trabajar, se entrometen en todo. 12 De parte de Jesucristo, el Señor, los instamos y exhortamos a que trabajen y coman su propio pan sin perturbar a nadie. 13 Por vuestra parte, hermanos, no os canséis de hacer el bien. 14 Y si alguien no hace caso a lo que os decimos en esta carta, tomad nota de él y hacedle el vacío, a ver si se avergüenza. 15 Pero no lo tratéis como enemigo; corregidlo, más bien, como a un hermano.
Conclusión (3,16-17)
Bendición y saludo final
16 Que el Señor de la paz os conceda la paz siempre y en todas sus formas. El Señor esté con todos vosotros. 17 El saludo es de mi puño y letra. Así firmo yo, Pablo, en todas mis cartas; esta es mi letra. 18 La gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo esté con todos vosotros.
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
English Standard Version
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.
