1. For the rest, brothers, pray for us, so that the Word of יהוה spreads rapidly and be praised, as also with you,
2. and that we might be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men, for not all have belief.
3. But the Master is trustworthy, who shall establish you and guard you from the wicked one.
4. And we trust in the Master as to you, both that you do and shall do what we command you.
5. And the Master direct your hearts into the love of Elohim and into the endurance for Messiah.
6. But we command you, brothers, in the Name of our Master יהושע Messiah, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which you received from us.
7. For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, for we were not disorderly among you,
8. nor did we eat anyone’s bread without paying for it, but worked with labour and toil night and day, in order not to burden any of you,
9. not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example, for you to imitate us.
