We always ought to be thanking God for you, brothers, as it is right to do so, because your faith is growing so much and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing

These will receive the punishment of eternal destruction as exiles from the presence of the Lord and His glorious might,

As to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our final muster before Him, we beg you, brothers,

not to let your minds be easily unsettled or even be excited, whether by some message by the Spirit or by some saying or letter that is claimed as coming from me, saying that the day of the Lord is already here.

and with a completely wicked deception for men who are on the way to destruction, because they refused to love the truth so as to be saved.

Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the message of the Lord may continue to spread and prove its glorious power as it did among you,

Now we charge you, brothers, on the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, to hold yourselves aloof from any brother who is living as a shirker instead of following the teachings you received from us.

But we are informed that some among you are living as shirkers, mere busybodies, instead of busy at work.

You must not regard him as an enemy but warn him as a brother.
