Introduction   1   2   3   1 Thessalonians   1 Timothy
2 Thessalonians 3
Verse 1.   May run - Go on swiftly, without any interruption. And be glorified - Acknowledged as divine, and bring forth much fruit.

Verse 2.   All men have not faith - And all men who have not are more or less unreasonable and wicked men.

Verse 3.   Who will stablish you - That cleave to him by faith. And guard you from the evil one - And all his instruments.

Verse 4.   We trust in the Lord concerning you - Thus only should we trust in any man.

Verse 5.   Now the Lord - The Spirit, whose proper work this is. Direct - Lead you straight forward. Into the patience of Christ - Of which he set you a pattern.

Verse 6.   That walketh disorderly - Particularly by not working. Not according to the tradition he received of us - The admonition we gave, both by word of mouth, and in our former epistle.

Verse 10.   Neither let him eat - Do not maintain him in idleness.

Verse 11.   Doing nothing, but being busybodies - To which idleness naturally disposes.

Verse 12.   Work quietly - Letting the concerns of other people alone.

Verse 14.   Have no company with him - No intimacy, no familiarity, no needless correspondence.

Verse 15.   Admonish him as a brother - Tell him lovingly of the reason why you shun him.

Verse 16.   The Lord of peace - Christ. Give you peace by all means - In every way and manner.
