That ye be not quickly tossed from your mind, nor be put in alarm - either by spirit, or by discourse, or by letter as by us, as that the day of the Lord, hath set in:

That no one may cheat, you, in any one respect. Because that day will not set in - except the revolt come first, and there he revealed the man of lawlessness, the son of destruction,

Remember ye not, that, while I was yet with you, these very things, I was telling you?

And with all manner of deceit of unrighteousness, in them who are destroying themselves, because, the love of the truth, they did not welcome, that they might be saved; -

In order that should be judged who would not believe in the truth, but were well-pleased with the unrighteousness.

And that we may be rescued from the presuming and wicked men; for, not all, hold the faith.

Howbeit, we charge you, brethren, - that, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, ye be withdrawing yourselves from every brother - who, in a disorderly way, doth walk, and not according to the instruction which ye received from us.

For, ye yourselves, know, how needful it is to be imitating us, in that we were not disorderly among you,

Nor, as a free-gift, did eat, bread, from anyone, but, with toil and hardship, night and day, working, - that we might not burden any of you; -

Not because we have not authority, but that, ourselves, as an ensample, we might hold forth unto you, - to the end ye might he imitating us.

For, even when we were with you, this, were we giving in charge unto you, - that, if any will not work, neither let him eat!

But, ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing; -

And, if anyone be not giving ear unto our word through means of this letter, on this one, set a mark - not to be mixing yourselves up with him, - that he may be reproved;

And, not as an enemy, be esteeming him, but be admonishing him, as a brother.
