2 Thessalonians 3:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ May the Lord lead you into a greater understanding of God's love and the endurance that is given by Christ.

The Obligation to Work

⁶ Our friends, we command you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to keep away from all believers who are living a lazy life and who do not follow the instructions that we gave them. ⁷ You yourselves know very well that you should do just what we did. We were not lazy when we were with you.
