2 Thessalonians

Chapter 3

Phonetic (Greek): To loipon proseychesthe, adelphoi, peri hemon, hina ho logos toy kyriou trechῃ kai doxazetai kathos kai pros hymas,

Edified Edition (EDE)Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honoured, just as it was with you,

Τὸ λοιπὸν προσεύχεσθε, ἀδελφοί, περὶ ἡμῶν, ἵνα ὁ λόγος τοῦ κυρίου τρέχῃ καὶ δοξάζηται καθὼς καὶ πρὸς ὑμᾶς,

Phonetic (Greek): kai hina ῥysthomen apo ton atopon kai poneron anthropon, oy gar panton he pistis.

Edified Edition (EDE)and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For not all have faith.

καὶ ἵνα ῥυσθῶμεν ἀπὸ τῶν ἀτόπων καὶ πονηρῶν ἀνθρώπων, οὐ γὰρ πάντων ἡ πίστις.

Phonetic (Greek): pistos de estin ho kyrios, hos sterixei hymas kai phylaxei apo toy poneroy.

Edified Edition (EDE)But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.

πιστὸς δέ ἐστιν ὁ κύριος, ὃς στηρίξει ὑμᾶς καὶ φυλάξει ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ.

Phonetic (Greek): pepoithamen de en kyriῳ ephʼ hymas, hoti ha ⸀parangellomen kai poieite kai poiesete.

Edified Edition (EDE)And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things that we command.

πεποίθαμεν δὲ ἐν κυρίῳ ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, ὅτι ἃ ⸀παραγγέλλομεν καὶ ποιεῖτε καὶ ποιήσετε.

Phonetic (Greek): ho de kyrios kateuthynai hymon tas kardias eis ten agapen toy theoy kai eis ten hypomonen toy Christoy.

Edified Edition (EDE)May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.

ὁ δὲ κύριος κατευθύναι ὑμῶν τὰς καρδίας εἰς τὴν ἀγάπην τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ εἰς τὴν ὑπομονὴν τοῦ Χριστοῦ.

Phonetic (Greek): Parangellomen de hymin, adelphoi, en onomati toy kyriou ⸀hemon Ἰesoy Christoy stellesthai hymas apo pantos adelphoy ataktos peripatoyntos kai me kata ten paradosin hen ⸀parelabosan parʼ hemon.

Edified Edition (EDE)Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us.

Παραγγέλλομεν δὲ ὑμῖν, ἀδελφοί, ἐν ὀνόματι τοῦ κυρίου ⸀ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ στέλλεσθαι ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ παντὸς ἀδελφοῦ ἀτάκτως περιπατοῦντος καὶ μὴ κατὰ τὴν παράδοσιν ἣν ⸀παρελάβοσαν παρʼ ἡμῶν.

Phonetic (Greek): aytoi gar oidate pos dei mimeisthai hemas, hoti oyk etaktesamen en hymin

Edified Edition (EDE)For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not idle when we were with you,

αὐτοὶ γὰρ οἴδατε πῶς δεῖ μιμεῖσθαι ἡμᾶς, ὅτι οὐκ ἠτακτήσαμεν ἐν ὑμῖν

Phonetic (Greek): oyde dorean arton ephagomen para tinos, allʼ en kopῳ kai mochthῳ ⸂nyktos kai hemeras⸃ ergazomenoi pros to me epibaresai tina hymon·

Edified Edition (EDE)nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but with toil and labour we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you.

οὐδὲ δωρεὰν ἄρτον ἐφάγομεν παρά τινος, ἀλλʼ ἐν κόπῳ καὶ μόχθῳ ⸂νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας⸃ ἐργαζόμενοι πρὸς τὸ μὴ ἐπιβαρῆσαί τινα ὑμῶν·

Phonetic (Greek): oych hoti oyk echomen exousian, allʼ hina heautoys typon domen hymin eis to mimeisthai hemas.

Edified Edition (EDE)It was not because we do not have that right, but to give you in ourselves an example to imitate.

οὐχ ὅτι οὐκ ἔχομεν ἐξουσίαν, ἀλλʼ ἵνα ἑαυτοὺς τύπον δῶμεν ὑμῖν εἰς τὸ μιμεῖσθαι ἡμᾶς.

Phonetic (Greek): kai gar hote emen pros hymas, toyto parengellomen hymin, hoti ei tis oy thelei ergazesthai mede esthieto.

Edified Edition (EDE)For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.

καὶ γὰρ ὅτε ἦμεν πρὸς ὑμᾶς, τοῦτο παρηγγέλλομεν ὑμῖν, ὅτι εἴ τις οὐ θέλει ἐργάζεσθαι μηδὲ ἐσθιέτω.

Phonetic (Greek): akoyomen gar tinas peripatoyntas en hymin ataktos, meden ergazomenous alla periergazomenous·

Edified Edition (EDE)For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies.

ἀκούομεν γάρ τινας περιπατοῦντας ἐν ὑμῖν ἀτάκτως, μηδὲν ἐργαζομένους ἀλλὰ περιεργαζομένους·

Phonetic (Greek): tois de toioytois parangellomen kai parakaloymen ⸂en kyriῳ Ἰesoy Christῷ⸃ hina meta hesychias ergazomenoi ton heauton arton esthiosin.

Edified Edition (EDE)Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.

τοῖς δὲ τοιούτοις παραγγέλλομεν καὶ παρακαλοῦμεν ⸂ἐν κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ Χριστῷ⸃ ἵνα μετὰ ἡσυχίας ἐργαζόμενοι τὸν ἑαυτῶν ἄρτον ἐσθίωσιν.

Phonetic (Greek): hymeis de, adelphoi, me ⸀enkakesete kalopoioyntes.

Edified Edition (EDE)As for you, brothers, do not grow weary in doing good.

ὑμεῖς δέ, ἀδελφοί, μὴ ⸀ἐγκακήσητε καλοποιοῦντες.

Phonetic (Greek): Ei de tis oych hypakoyei tῷ logῳ hemon dia tes epistoles, toyton semeioysthe, ⸀me ⸀synanamignysthai aytῷ, hina entrapῇ·

Edified Edition (EDE)If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of that person, and have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed.

Εἰ δέ τις οὐχ ὑπακούει τῷ λόγῳ ἡμῶν διὰ τῆς ἐπιστολῆς, τοῦτον σημειοῦσθε, ⸀μὴ ⸀συναναμίγνυσθαι αὐτῷ, ἵνα ἐντραπῇ·

Phonetic (Greek): kai me hos echthron hegeisthe, alla noutheteite hos adelphon.

Edified Edition (EDE)Do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.

καὶ μὴ ὡς ἐχθρὸν ἡγεῖσθε, ἀλλὰ νουθετεῖτε ὡς ἀδελφόν.

Phonetic (Greek): Aytos de ho kyrios tes eirenes dῴe hymin ten eirenen dia pantos en panti tropῳ. ho kyrios meta panton hymon.

Edified Edition (EDE)Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.

Αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ κύριος τῆς εἰρήνης δῴη ὑμῖν τὴν εἰρήνην διὰ παντὸς ἐν παντὶ τρόπῳ. ὁ κύριος μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν.

Phonetic (Greek): Ὁ aspasmos tῇ emῇ cheiri Paylou, ho estin semeion en pasῃ epistolῇ· ohytos grapho.

Edified Edition (EDE)I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. This is the sign of genuineness in every letter of mine; it is the way I write.

Ὁ ἀσπασμὸς τῇ ἐμῇ χειρὶ Παύλου, ὅ ἐστιν σημεῖον ἐν πάσῃ ἐπιστολῇ· οὕτως γράφω.

Phonetic (Greek): he charis toy kyriou hemon Ἰesoy Christoy meta panton ⸀hymon.

Edified Edition (EDE)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

ἡ χάρις τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μετὰ πάντων ⸀ὑμῶν.
