2 Thessalonians 3:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
3 1 He desireth them to further the preaching of the Gospel with their prayers, 6 and to withdraw themselves from those, who through idleness, 11 and curiosity pervert good order: 14 Whom he excludeth from the company of the faithful.
1 Furthermore, [a]brethren, (A)pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free passage and be glorified, even as it is with you.
2 And that we may be delivered from [b]unreasonable and evil men: [c]for all men have not faith.
3 But the Lord is faithful, which will stablish you, and keep you from [d]evil.
