2 Thessalonians 3:5-7
International Standard Version
5 May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the endurance of the Messiah.[a]
6 In the name of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah,[b] we command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is living in idleness[c] and not living[d] according to the tradition that they received[e] from us. 7 For you yourselves know what you must do to imitate us. We never lived in idleness[f] among you.
