New Testament

2 Thessalonians 3

1Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may run swiftly and be glorified, just as it is with you,

το λοιπον προσευχεσθε, αδελφοι, περι ημων, ινα ο λογος του κυριου τρεχη και δοξαζηται, καθως και προς υμας,

2and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for not all have faith.

και ινα ρυσθωμεν απο των ατοπων και πονηρων ανθρωπων· ου γαρ παντων η πιστις.

3But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.

πιστος δε εστιν ο κυριος, ος στηριξει υμας και φυλαξει απο του πονηρου.

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

πεποιθαμεν δε εν κυριω εφ υμας οτι α παραγγελλομεν υμιν και ποιειτε και ποιησετε.

5Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.

ο δε κυριος κατευθυναι υμων τας καρδιας εις την αγαπην του θεου και εις την υπομονην του χριστου.

6But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us.

παραγγελλομεν δε υμιν, αδελφοι, εν ονοματι του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου, στελλεσθαι υμας απο παντος αδελφου ατακτως περιπατουντος και μη κατα την παραδοσιν ην παρελαβον παρ ημων.

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

αυτοι γαρ οιδατε πως δει μιμεισθαι ημας, οτι ουκ ητακτησαμεν εν υμιν,

8nor did we eat anyone's bread free of charge, but worked with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you,

ουδε δωρεαν αρτον εφαγομεν παρα τινος, αλλ εν κοπω και μοχθω, νυκτα και ημεραν εργαζομενοι, προς το μη επιβαρησαι τινα υμων·

9not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us.

ουχ οτι ουκ εχομεν εξουσιαν, αλλ ινα εαυτους τυπον δωμεν υμιν εις το μιμεισθαι ημας.

10For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.

και γαρ οτε ημεν προς υμας, τουτο παρηγγελλομεν υμιν, οτι ει τις ου θελει εργαζεσθαι, μηδε εσθιετω.

11For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies.

ακουομεν γαρ τινας περιπατουντας εν υμιν ατακτως, μηδεν εργαζομενους, αλλα περιεργαζομενους·

12Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.

τοις δε τοιουτοις παραγγελλομεν και παρακαλουμεν δια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου, ινα μετα ησυχιας εργαζομενοι τον εαυτων αρτον εσθιωσιν.

13But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.

υμεις δε, αδελφοι, μη εκκακησητε καλοποιουντες.

14And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed.

ει δε τις ουχ υπακουει τω λογω ημων δια της επιστολης, τουτον σημειουσθε, και μη συναναμιγνυσθε αυτω, ινα εντραπη·

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

και μη ως εχθρον ηγεισθε, αλλα νουθετειτε ως αδελφον.

16Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.

αυτος δε ο κυριος της ειρηνης δωη υμιν την ειρηνην δια παντος εν παντι τροπω. ο κυριος μετα παντων υμων.

17The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is a sign in every epistle; so I write.

ο ασπασμος τη εμη χειρι παυλου, ο εστιν σημειον εν παση επιστολη· ουτως γραφω.

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

η χαρις του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου μετα παντων υμων· αμην.
