2 Thessalonians 3:4-6

New Testament for Everyone

⁴ We are confident in the Lord about you, that you are doing, and will continue to do, what we instructed you. ⁵ May the Lord direct your hearts towards the love of God and the patience of the Messiah.

The dangers of idleness

⁶ Here is a command we have for you, my dear family, in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah. Keep away from any member of the family who is stepping out of line, and not behaving according to the tradition that you received from us.
