2 Thessalonians 3:11-18
English Standard Version
11 For we hear that some among you (A)walk in idleness, not busy at work, but (B)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.[a]
13 As for you, brothers, (C)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 (D)have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 (E)Do not regard him as an enemy, but (F)warn him as a brother.
Benediction
16 Now may (G)the Lord of peace himself (H)give you peace at all times in every way. (I)The Lord be with you all.
17 I, Paul, write (J)this greeting with my own hand. This is the sign of genuineness in every letter of mine; it is the way I write. 18 (K)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
