2 Thessalonians

请为我们祷告

1弟兄们，我还有话说：请你们为我们祷告，好叫主的道理快快行开，得着荣耀，正如在你们中间一样，

2也叫我们脱离无理之恶人的手；因为人不都是有信心。

3但主是信实的，要坚固你们，保护你们脱离那恶者。

4我们靠主深信，你们现在是遵行我们所吩咐的，后来也必要遵行。

5愿主引导你们的心，叫你们爱 神，并学基督的忍耐！

警戒懒惰的人

6弟兄们，我们奉主耶稣基督的名吩咐你们，凡有弟兄不按规矩而行，不遵守从我们所受的教训，就当远离他。

7你们自己原知道应当怎样效法我们。因为我们在你们中间，未尝不按规矩而行，

8也未尝白吃人的饭，倒是辛苦劳碌，昼夜做工，免得叫你们一人受累。

9这并不是因我们没有权柄，乃是要给你们作榜样，叫你们效法我们。

10我们在你们那里的时候，曾吩咐你们说，若有人不肯做工，就不可吃饭。

11因我们听说，在你们中间有人不按规矩而行，什么工都不做，反倒专管闲事。

12我们靠主耶稣基督吩咐、劝戒这样的人，要安静做工，吃自己的饭。

13弟兄们，你们行善不可丧志。

14若有人不听从我们这信上的话，要记下他，不和他交往，叫他自觉羞愧。

15但不要以他为仇人，要劝他如弟兄。

祝福

16愿赐平安的主随时随事亲自给你们平安！愿主常与你们众人同在！

17我—保罗亲笔问你们安。凡我的信都以此为记，我的笔迹就是这样。

18愿我们主耶稣基督的恩常与你们众人同在！

1For the rest, brethren, pray for us, that the word of God may run, and may be glorified, even as among you;

2And that we may be delivered from importunate and evil men; for all men have not faith.

3But God is faithful, who will strengthen and keep you from evil.

4And we have confidence concerning you in the Lord, that the things which we command, you both do, and will do.

5And the Lord direct your hearts, in the charity of God, and the patience of Christ.

6And we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the tradition which they have received of us.

7For yourselves know how you ought to imitate us: for we were not disorderly among you;

8Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nothing, but in labour and in toil we worked night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you.

9Not as if we had not power: but that we might give ourselves a pattern unto you, to imitate us.

10For also when we were with you, this we declared to you: that, if any man will not work, neither let him eat.

11For we have heard there are some among you who walk disorderly, working not at all, but curiously meddling.

12Now we charge them that are such, and beseech them by the Lord Jesus Christ, that, working with silence, they would eat their own bread.

13But you, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

14And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed:

15Yet do not esteem him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

16Now the Lord of peace himself give you everlasting peace in every place. The Lord be with you all.

17The salutation of Paul with my own hand; which is the sign in every epistle. So I write.

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