2 Thessalonians 3

 1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:

 2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

 3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.

 4 And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.

 5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

 6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

 7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

 8 Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:

 9 Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

 10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

 11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

 12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

 13 But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

 14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

 15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

 16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

 17 The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.

 18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

1 Timothy 4

1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

 6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, where unto thou hast attained.

 7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

 8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.

 9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.

 10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

 11 These things command and teach.

 12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

 13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

 14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.

 15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

 16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

Hebrews 4

 1 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

 2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

 3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

 4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

 5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

 6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

 7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

 8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

 12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

 14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

 16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
