Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

2 Thessalonians 3

1 He craveth their prayers for himself, 3 testifieth what confidence he hath in them, 5 maketh request to God in their behalf, 6 giveth them divers precepts, especially to shun idleness, and ill company, 16 and last of all concludeth with prayer and salutation.

 3:1 ¶ Finally, 3063 brethren, 80 pray 4336 z5737 for 4012 us, 2257 that 2443 the x3588 word 3056 of the x3588 Lord 2962 may have [free] course, 5143 z5725 and 2532 be glorified, 1392 z5747 even 2532 as 2531 [it is] with 4314 you: 5209

 3:2 And 2532 that 2443 we may be delivered 4506 z5686 from 575 unreasonable 824 and 2532 wicked 4190 men: 444 for 1063 all 3956 [men] have not 3756 faith. 4102

 3:3 But 1161 the x3588 Lord 2962 is 2076 z5748 faithful, 4103 who 3739 shall stablish 4741 z5692 you, 5209 and 2532 keep 5442 z5692 [you] from 575 evil. 4190

 3:4 And 1161 we have confidence 3982 z5754 in 1722 the Lord 2962 touching 1909 you, 5209 that 3754 ye both 2532 do 4160 z5719 and 2532 will do 4160 z5692 the things which 3739 we command 3853 z5719 you. 5213

 3:5 And 1161 the x3588 Lord 2962 direct 2720 z5659 your 5216 hearts 2588 into 1519 the x3588 love 26 of God, 2316 and 2532 into 1519 the x3588 patient waiting 5281 for Christ. 5547 x1

 3:6 Now 1161 we command 3853 z5719 you, 5213 brethren, 80 in 1722 the name 3686 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ, 5547 that ye x5209 withdraw y4724 z5733 yourselves y5209 x4724 from 575 every 3956 brother 80 that walketh 4043 z5723 disorderly, 814 and 2532 not 3361 after 2596 the x3588 tradition 3862 which 3739 he received 3880 z5627 of 3844 us. 2257

 3:7 For 1063 yourselves 846 know 1492 z5758 how 4459 ye ought 1163 z5748 to follow 3401 z5738 us: 2248 for 3754 we behaved y812 z0 not y3756 ourselves disorderly 812 z5656 x3756 among 1722 you; 5213

 3:8 Neither 3761 did we eat 5315 z5627 any x3844 man's 5100 y3844 bread 740 for nought; 1432 but 235 wrought 2038 z5740 with 1722 labour 2873 and 2532 travail 3449 night 3571 and 2532 day, 2250 that y4314 we might y1912 z0 not 3361 be chargeable 1912 z5658 to any 5100 of you: 5216

 3:9 Not 3756 because 3754 we have 2192 z5719 not 3756 power, 1849 but 235 to 2443 make 1325 z5632 ourselves 1438 an ensample 5179 unto you 5213 to y1519 follow 3401 z5738 us. 2248

 3:10 For 1063 even 2532 when 3753 we were 2258 z5713 with 4314 you, 5209 this 5124 we commanded 3853 z5707 you, 5213 that 3754 if any 1536 would 2309 z5719 not 3756 work, 2038 z5738 neither 3366 should he eat. 2068 z5720

 3:11 For 1063 we hear 191 z5719 that there are some 5100 which walk 4043 z5723 among 1722 you 5213 disorderly, 814 working 2038 z5740 not at all, 3367 but 235 are busybodies. 4020 z5740

 3:12 Now 1161 them that are such 5108 we command 3853 z5719 and 2532 exhort 3870 z5719 by 1223 our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ, 5547 that 2443 with 3326 quietness 2271 they work, 2038 z5740 and eat 2068 z5725 their own 1438 bread. 740

 3:13 But 1161 ye, 5210 brethren, 80 be y1573 z0 not y3361 weary 1573 z5661 x3361 in well doing. 2569 z5723

 3:14 And 1161 if x1487 any man y1536 x5100 obey 5219 z5719 not 3756 our 2257 word 3056 by 1223 this epistle, 1992 note 4593 z5732 that y5126 man, x5126 and 2532 have y4874 z0 no y3361 company x4874 x3361 with y4874 z5732 him, 846 that 2443 he may be ashamed. 1788 z5652

 3:15 Yet 2532 count 2233 z5737 [him] not 3361 as 5613 an enemy, 2190 but 235 admonish 3560 z5720 [him] as 5613 a brother. 80

 3:16 Now 1161 the x3588 Lord 2962 of peace 1515 himself 846 give 1325 z5630 you 5213 peace 1515 always 1223 3956 by 1722 all 3956 means. 5158 The x3588 Lord 2962 [be] with 3326 you 5216 all. 3956

 3:17 The x3588 salutation 783 of Paul 3972 with mine own 1699 hand, 5495 which 3739 is 2076 z5748 the token 4592 in 1722 every 3956 epistle: 1992 so 3779 I write. 1125 z5719

 3:18 The x3588 grace 5485 of our 2257 Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 [be] with 3326 you 5216 all. 3956 Amen. 281 [[[The second y1208 [epistle] to y4314 the Thessalonians y2331 was written y1125 z5648 from y575 Athens.]]] y116
