| 1 | Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run and be glorified, even as also with you; | Mt 9:38 Lk 10:2 Ro 15:30 2Co 1:11 Eph 6:19 Eph 6:20 Col 4:3 1Th 5:17 1Th 5:25 Heb 13:18 Heb 13:19 |
| 2 | and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have faith. | Ro 15:31 1Co 15:32 2Co 1:8-10 1Th 2:18 2Ti 4:17 |
| 3 | But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one. | 1Co 1:9 1Co 10:13 1Th 5:24 |
| 4 | We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things which we command. | Ro 15:14 2Co 2:3 2Co 7:16 2Co 8:22 Ga 5:10 Php 1:6 Phm 1:21 |
| 5 | May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ. | 1Ki 8:58 1Ch 29:18 Ps 119:5 Ps 119:36 Pr 3:6 Jer 10:23 Jm 1:16-18 |
| 6 | Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks in rebellion, and not after the tradition which they received from us. | 1Co 5:4 2Co 2:10 Eph 4:17 Col 3:17 1Th 4:1 1Ti 5:21 1Ti 6:13 1Ti 6:14 2Ti 4:1 |
| 7 | For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we didn`t behave ourselves rebelliously among you, | 2Th 3:9 1Co 4:16 1Co 11:1 Php 3:17 Php 4:9 1Th 1:6 1Th 1:7 1Ti 4:12 Tit 2:7 1Pe 5:3 |
| 8 | neither did we eat bread for nothing from any man`s hand, but in labor and travail, working night and day, that we might not burden any of you; | 2Th 3:12 Pr 31:27 Mt 6:11 |
| 9 | not because we don`t have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us. | Mt 10:10 1Co 9:4-14 Ga 6:6 1Th 2:6 |
| 10 | For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "If anyone will not work, neither let him eat." | Lk 24:44 Jn 16:4 Ac 20:18 |
| 11 | For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don`t work at all, but are busybodies. | 1Th 4:11 1Ti 5:13 1Pe 4:15 |
| 12 | Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. | Gn 49:14 Gn 49:15 Pr 17:1 Ec 4:6 Eph 4:28 1Th 4:11 1Ti 2:2 |
| 13 | But you, brothers, don`t be weary in doing well. | Isa 40:30 Isa 40:31 Mal 1:13 Ro 2:7 1Co 15:28 Ga 6:9 Ga 6:10 Php 1:9 1Th 4:1 Heb 12:3 |
| 14 | If any man doesn`t obey our word by this letter, note that man, that you have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed. | Dt 16:12 Pr 5:13 Zep 3:2 2Co 2:9 2Co 7:15 2Co 10:6 Php 2:12 1Th 4:8 Phm 1:21 Heb 13:17 |
| 15 | Don`t count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother. | Lv 19:17 Lv 19:18 1Co 5:5 2Co 2:6-10 2Co 10:8 2Co 13:10 Ga 6:1 1Th 5:14 Jud 1:22 Jud 1:23 |
| 16 | Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all. | Ps 72:3 Ps 72:7 Isa 9:6 Isa 9:7 Zc 6:13 Lk 2:14 Jn 14:27 Ro 15:33 Ro 16:20 1Co 14:33 2Co 5:19-21 2Co 13:11 Eph 2:14-17 1Th 5:23 Heb 7:2 Heb 13:20 |
| 17 | The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter. This is how I write. | 1Co 16:21 Col 4:18 |
| 18 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. | Ro 16:20 Ro 16:24 |
