So that glory may be given to the name of our Lord Jesus through you, and you may have glory in him, by the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Now as to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and our meeting with him, it is our desire, my brothers,

And now it is clear to you what is keeping back his revelation till the time comes for him to be seen.

For even when we were with you we gave you orders, saying, If any man does no work, let him not have food.

And if any man does not give attention to what we have said in this letter, take note of that man, and keep away from him, so that he may be shamed.

Have no feeling of hate for him, but take him in hand seriously as a brother.
