First Reading
2 Thessalonians 3:6-10, 16-18
Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.
6And we charge you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the teaching which they have received of us.
7For yourselves know how you ought to imitate us: for we were not disorderly among you;
8Neither did we eat any man's bread for nothing, but in work and in toil we worked night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you.
9Not as if we had not power: but that we might give ourselves a pattern to you, to imitate us.
10For also when we were with you, this we told to you: that, if any man will not work, neither let him eat.
16Now the Lord of peace himself give you eternal peace in every place. The Lord be with you all.
17The salutation of Paul with my own hand; which is the sign in every epistle. So I write.
18The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
