2 Thessalonians 3

2 Thessalonians 3:1

That the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:

That the word of the Lord may be universally preached and willingly received; and be glorified in the effectual power thereof, in other places, as it is with you:

2 Thessalonians 3:2

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

And that we may be delivered from absurd and perverse men; both those false hypocrites which closely underwork the Gospel, and those public opposers of the truth which persecute us for the professing of it: which that they do, it is no marvel; for all men have not faith, to know and yield to the truth: that is a singular gift of God, which he hath bestowed only on some; it is no marvel if others hate and persecute it.

2 Thessalonians 3:9

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

Not because we had not just liberty and power, to require maintenance from you, in lieu of our labours; but that we might thus make ourselves examples of painfulness, unto you, for your imitation.

2 Thessalonians 3:14

Note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

Set a mark on such an one; and do both give up his name to me, and censure him with a just ejection out of your company, that he may with shame be won to reformation.
