Now we beseech you, my brothers, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,

And now you know what holds back, for him to be revealed in his own time.

For the mystery of lawlessness is already working, only he is now holding back until it comes out of the midst.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God, even our Father, who has loved us and has given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks disorderly, and not after the teaching which he received from us.

Now we command and exhort those who are such, by our Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with quietness and eat their own bread.
