10. For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: “If anyone will not work, don’t let him eat.”
11. For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don’t work at all, but are busybodies.
12. Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
13. But you, brothers, don’t be weary in doing well.
14. If any man doesn’t obey our word in this letter, note that man, that you have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.
15. Don’t count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
16. Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.
17. The greeting of me, Paul, with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter: this is how I write.
18. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
