14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle,[1] encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. (Isa 35:4; Ac 20:35; Ro 15:1; 1Co 13:4; 2Th 3:6; 2Th 3:11; Heb 12:12)

14 And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

New International Reader’s Version

14 Brothers and sisters, we are asking you to warn certain people. These people don’t want to work. Instead, they make trouble. We are also asking you to encourage those who have lost hope. Help those who are weak. Be patient with everyone.

King James Version

14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
