GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Το λοιπον προσευχεσθε, αδελφοι, περι ημων, δια να τρεχη ο λογος του Κυριου και να δοξαζηται, καθως και εις εσας,	1 Concerning other things, brothers, pray for us, so that the Word of God may advance and be glorified, just as it is among you,
2 και δια να ελευθερωθωμεν απο των παραλογων και πονηρων ανθρωπων? διοτι η πιστις δεν υπαρχει εις παντας.	2 and so that we may be freed from pertinacious and evil men. For not everyone is faithful.
3 Πιστος ομως ειναι ο Κυριος, οστις θελει σας στηριξει και φυλαξει απο του πονηρου.	3 But God is faithful. He will strengthen you, and he will guard you from evil.
4 Εχομεν δε πεποιθησιν δια του Κυριου εφ' υμας οτι εκεινα, τα οποια σας παραγγελλομεν, και πραττετε και θελετε πραττει.	4 And we have confidence about you in the Lord, that you are doing, and will continue to do, just as we have instructed.
5 Ο δε Κυριος ειθε να κατευθυνη τας καρδιας σας εις την αγαπην του Θεου και εις την προσδοκιαν του Χριστου.	5 And may the Lord direct your hearts, in the charity of God and with the patience of Christ.
6 Σας παραγγελλομεν δε, αδελφοι, εν ονοματι του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου, να απομακρυνησθε απο παντος αδελφου ατακτως περιπατουντος και ουχι κατα την παραδοσιν, την οποιαν παρελαβε παρ' ημων.	6 But we strongly caution you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to draw yourselves away from every brother who is walking in disorder and not according to the tradition that they received from us.
7 Επειδη σεις εξευρετε πως πρεπει να μιμησθε ημας, διοτι δεν εφερθημεν ατακτως μεταξυ σας,	7 For you yourselves know the manner in which you ought to imitate us. For we were not disorderly among you.
8 ουδε εφαγομεν δωρεαν αρτον παρα τινος, αλλα μετα κοπου και μοχθου, νυκτα και ημεραν εργαζομενοι, δια να μη επιβαρυνωμεν μηδενα υμων?	8 Nor did we eat bread from anyone for free, but rather, we worked night and day, in hardship and weariness, so as not to be burdensome to you.
9 ουχι διοτι δεν εχομεν εξουσιαν, αλλα δια να σας δωσωμεν εαυτους τυπον εις το να μιμησθε ημας.	9 It was not as if we had no authority, but this was so that we might present ourselves as an example to you, in order to imitate us.
10 Διοτι και οτε ημεθα παρ' υμιν, τουτο σας παρηγγελλομεν, οτι εαν τις δεν θελη να εργαζηται, μηδε ας τρωγη.	10 Then, too, while we were with you, we insisted on this to you: that if anyone was not willing to work, neither should he eat.
11 Επειδη ακουομεν τινας οτι περιπατουσι μεταξυ σας ατακτως, μη εργαζομενοι μηδεν, αλλα περιεργαζομενοι?	11 For we have heard that there are some among you who act disruptively, not working at all, but eagerly meddling.
12 παραγγελλομεν δε εις τους τοιουτους και προτρεπομεν δια του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου, να τρωγωσι τον αρτον αυτων εργαζομενοι μετα ησυχιας.	12 Now we charge those who act in this way, and we beg them in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they work in silence and eat their own bread.
13 Σεις δε, αδελφοι, μη αποκαμητε πραττοντες το καλον.	13 And you, brothers, do not grow weak in doing good.
14 Και εαν τις δεν υπακουη εις τον λογον ημων τον δια της επιστολης, τουτον σημειονετε και μη συναναστρεφεσθε μετ' αυτου, δια να εντραπη?	14 But if anyone does not obey our word by this epistle, take note of him and do not keep company with him, so that he may be ashamed.
15 πλην μη θεωρειτε αυτον ως εχθρον, αλλα νουθετειτε ως αδελφον.	15 But do not be willing to consider him as an enemy; instead, correct him as a brother.
16 Αυτος δε ο Κυριος της ειρηνης ειθε να σας δωση την ειρηνην διαπαντος εν παντι τροπω. Ο Κυριος ειη μετα παντων υμων.	16 Then may the Lord of peace himself give you an everlasting peace, in every place. May the Lord be with all of you.
17 Ο ασπασμος εγραφη με την χειρα εμου του Παυλου, το οποιον ειναι σημειον εν παση επιστολη? ουτω γραφω.	17 The greeting of Paul with my own hand, which is the seal in every epistle. So do I write.
18 Η χαρις του Κυριου ημων Ιησου Χριστου ειη μετα παντων υμων? αμην.	18 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
