awarding vengeance to those who know not God, and to those who obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus;

that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by letter as from us, as that the day of the Lord has set in.

Let no one deceive you in any manner; because that day will not come, unless the falling away come first, and the man of lawlessness be revealed??he son of perdition;

Do ye not remember that, when I was yet with you, I was wont to tell you these things?

and in all deceit of unrighteousness to those who perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

that they all may be judged, who believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have the faith.

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the instruction which ye received from us.

For ye yourselves know that ye should imitate us; because we were not disorderly among you;

nor did we eat any one's bread, gratuitously: but, in labor and toil, working night and day, that we might not be burdensome to any of you;

not because we have not authority, but that we might give ourselves as a model to you, that ye might imitate us.

For, even when we were with you, this we commanded you, "If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat."

For we hear of some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, who work not at all, but are busybodies.

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

And, if anyone obey not our word through this letter, note this one, not to associate with him, that he may be ashamed.

And regard him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
