12 In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we command these people and warn them to lead orderly lives and work to earn their own living.
13 But you, brothers and sisters, must not get tired of doing good.
14 It may be that someone there will not obey the message we send you in this letter. If so, take note of that person and have nothing to do with him or her, so that they will be ashamed.
15 But do not treat them as an enemy; instead, warn them as a fellow-believer.
16 May the Lord himself, who is our source of peace, give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with you all.
17 With my own hand I write this: Greetings from Paul. This is the way I sign every letter; this is how I write.
18 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
