1 # Finally <3063>, brethren <80>, pray <4336> (5737) for <4012> us <2257>, that <2443> the word <3056> of the Lord <2962> may have free course <5143> (5725), and <2532> be glorified <1392> (5747) , even <2532> as <2531> it is with <4314> you <5209>:
2 And <2532> that <2443> we may be delivered <4506> (5686) from <575> unreasonable <824> and <2532> wicked <4190> men <444>: for <1063> all <3956> men have not <3756> faith <4102>.
3 But <1161> the Lord <2962> is <2076> (5748) faithful <4103>, who <3739> shall stablish <4741> (5692) you <5209>, and <2532> keep <5442> (5692) you from <575> evil <4190>.
4 And <1161> we have confidence <3982> (5754) in <1722> the Lord <2962> touching <1909> you <5209> , that <3754> ye both <2532> do <4160> (5719) and <2532> will do <4160> (5692) the things which <3739> we command <3853> (5719) you <5213>.
5 And <1161> the Lord <2962> direct <2720> (5659) your <5216> hearts <2588> into <1519> the love <26> of God <2316>, and <2532> into <1519> the patient waiting <5281> for Christ <5547>.
 - AGAPE - DIVINE LOVE
6 # Now <1161> we command <3853> (5719) you <5213>, brethren <80>, in <1722> the name <3686> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, that ye withdraw <4724> (5733) yourselves <5209> from <575> every <3956> brother <80> that walketh <4043> (5723) disorderly <814>, and <2532> not <3361> after <2596> the tradition <3862> which <3739> he received <3880> (5627) of <3844> us <2257>.
 - ARCHETYPE
7 For <1063> yourselves <846> know <1492> (5758) how <4459> ye ought <1163> (5748) to follow <3401> (5738) us <2248>: for <3754> we behaved <812> <0> not <3756> ourselves disorderly <812> (5656) among <1722> you <5213>;
8 Neither <3761> did we eat <5315> (5627) any man's <3844> <5100> bread <740> for nought <1432> ; but <235> wrought <2038> (5740) with <1722> labour <2873> and <2532> travail <3449> night <3571> and <2532> day <2250>, that <4314> we might <1912> <0> not <3361> be chargeable <1912> (5658) to any <5100> of you <5216>:
9 Not <3756> because <3754> we have <2192> (5719) not <3756> power <1849>, but <235> to <2443> make <1325> (5632) ourselves <1438> an ensample <5179> unto you <5213> to <1519> follow <3401> (5738) us <2248>.
 - MODELING - IMITATION
10 For <1063> even <2532> when <3753> we were <2258> (5713) with <4314> you <5209>, this <5124> we commanded <3853> (5707) you <5213>, that <3754> if any <1536> would <2309> (5719) not <3756> work <2038> (5738), neither <3366> should he eat <2068> (5720).
 - WORK
11 For <1063> we hear <191> (5719) that there are some <5100> which walk <4043> (5723) among <1722> you <5213> disorderly <814>, working <2038> (5740) not at all <3367>, but <235> are busybodies <4020> (5740).
12 Now <1161> them that are such <5108> we command <3853> (5719) and <2532> exhort <3870> (5719) by <1223> our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, that <2443> with <3326> quietness <2271> they work <2038> (5740), and eat <2068> (5725) their own <1438> bread <740>.
13 But <1161> ye <5210>, brethren <80>, be <1573> <0> not <3361> weary <1573> (5661) in well doing <2569> (5723).
14 And <1161> if any man <1536> obey <5219> (5719) not <3756> our <2257> word <3056> by <1223> this epistle <1992>, note <4593> (5732) that <5126> man, and <2532> have <4874> <0> no <3361> company with <4874> (5732) him <846>, that <2443> he may be ashamed <1788> (5652).
 - DISASSOCIATION
15 Yet <2532> count <2233> (5737) him not <3361> as <5613> an enemy <2190>, but <235> admonish <3560> (5720) him as <5613> a brother <80>.
16 # Now <1161> the Lord <2962> of peace <1515> himself <846> give <1325> (5630) you <5213> peace <1515> always <1223> <3956> by <1722> all <3956> means <5158>. The Lord <2962> be with <3326> you <5216> all <3956>.
17 The salutation <783> of Paul <3972> with mine own <1699> hand <5495>, which <3739> is <2076> (5748) the token <4592> in <1722> every <3956> epistle <1992>: so <3779> I write <1125> (5719).
18 The grace <5485> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> be with <3326> you <5216> all <3956>. Amen <281>. < epistle to <4314> the Thessalonians <2331> was written <1125> (5648) from <575> Athens <116>.>>
