1 Finalmente, hermanos, les suplico que oren por nosotros. Pidan que el mensaje del Señor se propague rápidamente y que sea recibido y apreciado, como sucedió entre ustedes.
1 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you,
2 Y oren para que seamos librados de personas perversas y malvadas, pues no todos tienen fe.
2 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have faith.
3 El Señor, que es fiel, les dará fortaleza y los guardará del maligno.
3 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.
4 Confiamos en el Señor que ustedes estén poniendo en práctica nuestras enseñanzas, y que siempre lo harán.
4 We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.
5 Que el Señor los lleve a amar como Dios lo hace y a ser pacientes como Cristo.
5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and into the perseverance of Christ.
6 Hermanos, un mandamiento les doy en nombre del Señor Jesucristo: Apártense de cualquier hermano que ande con holgazanerías y que no siga las enseñanzas que ustedes recibieron de nosotros.
6 Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks in rebellion and not after the tradition which they received from us.
7 Ustedes saben bien que deben seguir nuestro ejemplo, y a nosotros jamás nos vieron sin hacer nada.
7 For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we didn’t behave ourselves rebelliously among you,
8 Cuando queríamos comida la comprábamos; con fatiga y cansancio trabajábamos día y noche, para no ser una carga a ninguno de ustedes.
8 neither did we eat bread from anyone’s hand without paying for it, but in labor and travail worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you.
9 Y no se trataba de que no tuviéramos el derecho de solicitar el sustento, sino de que queríamos enseñarles con el ejemplo.
9 This was not because we don’t have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.
10 Estando aún entre ustedes, pusimos una regla: «El que no trabaja, que tampoco coma».
10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: “If anyone is not willing to work, don’t let him eat.”
11 Sin embargo, nos hemos enterado de que algunos de ustedes no trabajan y se pasan la vida sin hacer nada.
11 For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don’t work at all, but are busybodies.
12 En el nombre del Señor Jesucristo, les ordenamos a dichas personas que se pongan a trabajar tranquilamente para ganarse la vida.
12 Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with quietness and eat their own bread.
13 Hermanos, nunca se cansen de hacer el bien.
13 But you, brothers, don’t be weary in doing what is right.
14 Si alguien se niega a obedecer lo que decimos en esta carta, señálenlo delante de todos y no se junten con él, para que se avergüence.
14 If any man doesn’t obey our word in this letter, note that man and have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.
15 Pero no lo tengan como a un enemigo, sino repréndanlo como a un hermano.
15 Don’t count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
16 Que el Señor de paz les dé paz en todo tiempo y en cualquier circunstancia. El Señor esté con ustedes.
16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in all ways. The Lord be with you all.
17 Y aquí va el saludo que en todas mis cartas acostumbro escribir yo mismo para que se sepa que es una carta mía. Yo, Pablo. Esto es de mi puño y letra:
17 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand, which is the sign in every letter. This is how I write.
18 Que nuestro Señor Jesucristo derrame su amor sobre todos ustedes.
18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Neither ought we, having committed everything to the prayers of the Saints, to be idle ourselves, and run into wickedness, and to lay hold of nothing; nor again when working good to despise that succor. For great indeed are the things which prayer for us can effect, but it is when we ourselves also work.

Since Paul also, having made infinite complaints, and said, "If any will not work, neither let him eat," stopped not at this, but added, "But ye, be not weary in well doing." "Nay, but these things are contradictory.

We have learnt from the Apostle, "the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patient waiting for Christ" for our tribulations.

But although Paul saith, "If any will not work, neither let him eat," to them he saith it; but to us he saith not this, but, on the contrary, "Be not weary in well doing." Even thus do we at home; when any two are striving with each other, we take each apart, and give them the opposite advice.

if where they are strangers they shine so bright, how great will they become when they shall have won their native land!" Thus they too will be reformed, and the word of godliness "will have free course," not less than in the apostles' times.
