MODERN LITERAL VERSION - 2026 Update

3:1       Furthermore, brethren, pray^° concerning us, in-order-that the word of the Lord may run onward and may be glorified, just-as it is also with you^°,

3:2 and in-order-that we may be rescued from the improper and evil men, for^* the faith is not of all.

3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who will be establishing you^° and will be guarding you^° from the evil one.

3:4 Now we have confidence in the Lord upon the basis of you^°, that you^° are both practicing and will be practicing the things which we command you^°.

3:5 Now may the Lord steer your^° hearts into the love^* of God and into the endurance of the Christ.      

3:6 Now brethren, we are commanding you^° in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ for you^° to withdraw from every brother who is walking disorderly and not according-to the tradition which they received from us.

3:7 For^* you^° yourselves know how it is essential to imitate us. Because we did not act-disorderly among you^°,

3:8 nor did we eat bread freely from anyone, but in labor and hardship, working night and day, in-order-to not burden anyone of you^°;

3:9 not because we do not have authority, but in-order-that we might give ourselves as an example to you^°, that^* you^° might imitate us.

3:10 For^* even when we were with you^°, we were commanding you^° this, If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat.

3:11 For^* we hear there are some who are walking disorderly among you^°, not working, but are busybodies.

3:12 Now we are commanding to such and are encouraging through our Lord Jesus Christ in-order-that they work with quietness and should eat their own bread.

3:13 But you^° brethren, do^° not be depressed in doing^* good.

3:14 And if anyone is not obeying^* our word through this letter, mark^° for yourselves this one and do^° not socialize together-with him in-order-that he should be embarrassed.

3:15 And yet do^° not deem him as an enemy, but admonish^° him like a brother.      

3:16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you^° peace always in every manner. The Lord is with all of you^°.      

3:17 The greeting from me, Paul, I thus am writing with my own hand, which is a sign in every letter.

3:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with all of you^°. Amen.       {NOTES: Please read the Preface and other non-bible sections. * is our universal footnoting for words contained in the ‘Definitions’ section. These words are NOT the same Greek word as the non-asterisk form; i.e., *FOR is different from FOR* is different from FOR. ^° (degree sign) denotes plural forms.}
