9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
1Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have [free] course, and be glorified, even as [it is] with you;
2And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all [men] have not faith.
3But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and keep [you] from evil.
4And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
5And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
6Now 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 from us.
7For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
8Neither did we eat any man's bread for naught; but wrought with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
9Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves a pattern to you to follow us.
10For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
11For we hear that there are some who walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busy-bodies.
12Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
13But ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing.
14And if any man obeyeth not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
15Yet count [him] not as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother.
16Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord [be] with you all.
17The salutation of Paul with my own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.
18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.
