1 Dalje, braćo, molite se Bogu za nas da reč Gospodnja trči, i da se slavi kao i među vama; 2 i da se izbavimo od besputnih i zlih ljudi: jer vera nije sviju. 3 A Gospod je veran, koji će vas utvrditi i sačuvati od zla. 4 A uzdamo se u Gospoda za vas da ono što vam zapovedamo i činite i činićete. 5 A Gospod da upravi srca vaša na ljubav Božiju i na trpljenje Hristovo. 6 Zapovedamo vam pak, braćo, u ime Gospoda našeg Isusa Hrista, da se odvojite od svakog brata koji živi neuredno, a ne po uredbi koju primiše od nas. 7 Jer sami znate kako treba da se ugledate na nas, jer ne živesmo neuredno među vama, 8 niti zabadava hleb jedosmo u koga, nego u trudu i u poslu, dan i noć radeći, da ne budemo na dosadu nikome od vas. 9 Ne kao da nemamo vlasti, nego da sebe damo vama za ugled, da budete kao i mi. 10 Jer kad bejasmo u vas, ovo vam zapovedasmo da ako ko neće da radi da i ne jede. 11 Jer čujemo da neki neuredno žive među vama, ništa ne radeći, nego okrajče i mešaju se u tuđe poslove. 12 Takvima zapovedamo i molimo ih u Gospodu našem Isusu Hristu, da mirno radeći svoj hleb jedu. 13 A vama, braćo, da ne dotuži dobro činiti. 14 A ako ko ne posluša reči naše, onog poslanicom naznačite, i ne mešajte se s njim, da se posrami. 15 Ali ga ne držite kao neprijatelja, nego ga savetujte kao brata. 16 A sam Gospod mira da vam da mir svagda u svakom događaju. Gospod sa svima vama. 17 Pozdrav mojom rukom Pavlovom, koje je znak u svakoj poslanici, ovako pišem: 18 Blagodat Gospoda našeg Isusa Hrista sa svima vama. Amin.

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.
