10. For even when we were with you, this we used to direct you: that if anyone will not be a po'el (worker), neither let him be an ochel (eater) [Gn 3:19].
11. For we hear that some among you are leading the life of a batlan (loafer), not being busy with a parnasah, but being busybodies with hitarevut (meddlesomeness).
12. Now such persons we are directing and exhort in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu to work with quietness that they may eat their own lechem.
13. But you, Achim b'Moshiach, do not lose chozek in well-doing.
14. But if anyone does not obey the gzeira (injunction) in this iggeret hakodesh (holy letter), take special notice of that one; do not have chavrusashaft (association) with him, for the tachlis (purpose) of stirring him with a sense of bushah (shame).
15. And do not consider (him) an oyev (enemy) but warn him as an Ach b'Moshiach.
16. Now may Elohei HaShalom Himself grant you shalom in every way. Hashem be with you all.
17. I, [Rav] Sha'ul, send Drishat Shalom greetings in my own handwriting, which is the distinctive siman (sign) in every iggeret hakodesh; this is the way I write.
18. The unmerited Chen v'Chesed Hashem of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua be with you all. [T.N. The following was written during the period between his release from custody in 63 and his re-arrest and death al kiddush ha-Shem in 65 C.E.]
