Finally, brothers, pray for us that the word of the Lord will [fn]spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it did also with you;

Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:7 - For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we did not act in an unruly manner among you,
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:8 - nor did we eat [fn]anyone’s bread [fn]without paying for it, but with labor and hardship we kept working night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you;
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:9 - not because we do not have the authority, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you, so that you would imitate us.

And if anyone does not obey our word [fn]in this letter, take special note of that person to not associate with him, so that he will be put to shame.

Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:15 - And yet do not regard him as an enemy, but [fn]admonish him as a brother.
Unchecked Copy Box2Th 3:16 -

Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually give you peace in every [fn]circumstance. The Lord be with you all!

The greeting is in my own hand[fn]Paul, which is a distinguishing mark in every letter; this is the way I write.
