in blazing fire. He will take revenge on those who do not know God and on those who refuse to obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

not to be so quickly upset or alarmed when someone claims that we said, either by some spirit, conversation, or letter that the Day of the Lord has already come.

Do not let anyone deceive you in any way, for it will not come unless the rebellion takes place first and the man of sin, who is destined for destruction, is revealed.

Then all who have not believed the truth but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness will be condemned.

Also pray that we may be rescued from worthless and evil people, since not everyone holds to the faith.

In the name of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is living in idleness and not living according to the tradition that they received from us.

We did not eat anyone's food without paying for it. Instead, with toil and labor we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you.

It is not as though we did not have that right, but we wanted to give you an example to follow.

We hear that some of you are living in idleness. You are not busy working you are busy interfering in other people's lives!

Brothers, do not get tired of doing what is right.

If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of him. Have nothing to do with him so that he will feel ashamed.
