末了的话，弟兄们，请你们为我们祷告，好叫主的话快快传开，且得荣耀，正如在你们中间一样；
- 3:2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men, for the faith does not belong to all.
并叫我们蒙拯救，脱离不讲理的恶人，因为人不都有信心。

但主是信实的，祂要坚固你们，并保护你们脱离那恶者。

关于你们，我们在主里深信，你们现在是遵行我们所嘱咐的，将来也必要遵行。

愿主修直你们心中的途径，引导你们的心，进入神的爱以爱神，并进入基督的忍耐以忍耐。

弟兄们，我们在我们主耶稣基督的名里嘱咐你们，凡有弟兄不按规矩、且不照着你们从我们所受的传授而行，就当远离他。
- 3:7 For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, because we were not disorderly among you;
你们自己原知道，应当怎样效法我们；因为我们在你们中间，未尝不守规矩，
- 3:8 Nor did we eat bread as a gift from anyone, but in labor and hardship we worked night and day so that we would not be burdensome to any of you;
也未尝白吃任何人的饭，倒是劳碌辛苦，昼夜作工，免得叫你们任何人受累。
- 3:9 Not because we do not have the right, but in order that we might give ourselves to you as a pattern that you might imitate us.
这并不是因我们没有权利，乃是要给你们作榜样，叫你们效法我们。
- 3:10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this charge, that if anyone does not want to work, neither should he eat.
我们在你们那里的时候，也曾将这事嘱咐你们，若有人不愿作工，就不可吃饭。
- 3:11 For we hear of some walking among you disorderly, doing no work at all, but being busybodies.
因我们听说，在你们中间有些人不按规矩而行，什么工都不作，反倒好管闲事。
- 3:12 Now such ones we charge and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ to work with quietness and eat their own bread.
我们在主耶稣基督里，嘱咐并劝勉这样的人，要安静作工，吃自己的饭。
- 3:13 But you, brothers, do not lose heart in doing good.
弟兄们，你们行善不可丧志。
- 3:14 And if anyone does not obey our word through this letter, mark this one so as not to mingle with him, in order that he may be ashamed.
若有人不顺从我们这信上的话，要记下这人，不和他交往，叫他自觉羞愧；
- 3:15 Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
只是不要以他为仇敌，乃要劝戒他如弟兄。
- 3:16 Now the Lord of peace Himself give you peace continually in every way. The Lord be with you all.
愿平安的主，随时多方亲自赐你们平安；愿主与你们众人同在。
- 3:17 The greeting in my own hand -- Paul -- which is the mark in every letter; so I write.
我保罗亲笔问安，这是我每封信的记号，我就是这样写的。
- 3:18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
愿我们主耶稣基督的恩与你们众人同在。
