New American Standard Bible

Chapter 3

11For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies. 12Now we command and exhort such persons in the Lord Jesus Christ to work peacefully and eat their own bread. 13But as for you, brothers and sisters, do not grow weary of doing good.
14If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take special note of that person so as not to associate with him, so that he will be put to shame. 15And yet do not regard that person as an enemy, but admonish that one as a brother or sister.
16Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance. The Lord be with you all!
17I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand, and this is a distinguishing mark in every letter; this is the way I write. 18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
King James Version

Chapter 3

11For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. 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 obey 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 mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write. 18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
