2 Thessalonians 2:9 — 2 Thessalonians 3:15
9 The coming of whom is 1according to Satan’s operation in all apower and bsigns and wonders of a 2lie
10 And in all deceit of unrighteousness among those who are aperishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved.
11 And 1because of this God asends to them an operation of error that they might believe the blie,
12 So that all who have not believed the atruth but have taken 1pleasure in unrighteousness might be judged.
13 But we ought to athank God always concerning you, brothers bbeloved of the Lord, because God 1cchose you 2from the dbeginning unto esalvation in 3fsanctification of the Spirit and 4belief of the gtruth,
14 To 1which also He acalled you through our bgospel unto the obtaining of the 2cglory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 So then, brothers, astand firm and hold to the 1bthings which were handed down to you and which you were taught, whether by word or by our letter.
16 Now our 1Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has aloved us and given us 2eternal comfort and 3good bhope in 4grace,
17 Comfort your hearts and aestablish you in every good work and word.
CHAPTER 3
1 Finally, brothers, apray concerning us, that the word of the Lord may brun and be 1glorified, even as it is also 2with you;
2 And that we may be adelivered from unreasonable and evil men, for the bfaith does not belong to all.
3 But the Lord is afaithful, who will 1bestablish you and 2guard you from the cevil one.
4 And we have aconfidence in the Lord concerning you that what we 1bcharge, you both are doing and will do.
5 And the Lord 1adirect your bhearts 2into the 3clove of God and 4into the 5endurance of Christ.
6 Now we charge you, brothers, in the aname of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you bkeep away from every brother 1walking cdisorderly and not according to the 2dthings which were handed down to you and which you received from us.
7 For you yourselves know how you ought to aimitate us, because we were 1not disorderly among you;
8 Nor did we eat bread as a gift from anyone, but in alabor and hardship we bworked night and day so that we would not be cburdensome to any of you;
9 Not because we do not have the aright, but in order that we might give ourselves to you as a bpattern that you might cimitate us.
10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this acharge, that if anyone does not want to work, neither should he beat.
11 For we hear of some walking among you adisorderly, doing no work at all, but being 1bbusybodies.
12 Now such ones we acharge and bexhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to cwork with dquietness and eeat their own bread.
13 But you, brothers, do not alose heart in doing good.
14 And if anyone does anot obey our word through this letter, mark this one so as 1bnot to mingle with him, in order that he may be ashamed.
15 Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but aadmonish him as a brother.
