rwp @2Thessalonians:3:6 @{Now we command you } (\paraggellomen de humin \). Paul puts into practice the confidence expressed on their obedience to his commands in verse 4 |. {In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ } (\en onomati tou kuriou I ˆsou Christou \). {Name } (\onoma \) here for authority of Jesus Christ with which compare {through the Lord Jesus } (\dia tou kuriou I ˆsou \) in strkjv @1Thessalonians:4:2 |. For a full discussion of the phrase see the monograph of W . Heitmuller , _Im Namen Jesu_ . Paul wishes his readers to realize the responsibility on them for their obedience to his command . {That ye withdraw yourselves } (\stellesthai humas \). Present middle (direct ) infinitive of \stell “\, old verb to place , arrange , make compact or shorten as sails , to move oneself from or to withdraw oneself from (with \apo \ and the ablative ). In strkjv @2Corinthians:8:20 | the middle voice (\stellomenoi \) means taking care . {From every brother that walketh disorderly } (\apo pantos adelphou atakt “s peripatountos \). He calls him "brother " still . The adverb \atakt “s \ is common in Plato and is here and verse 11 | alone in the N .T ., though the adjective \ataktos \, equally common in Plato we had in strkjv @1Thessalonians:5:14 | which see . Military term , out of ranks . {And not after the tradition } (\kai m ˆ kata t ˆn paradosin \). See on ¯2:15 | for \paradosin \. {Which they received of us } (\h ˆn parelabosan par h ˆm “n \). Westcott and Hort put this form of the verb (second aorist indicative third person plural of \paralamban “\, the \-osan \ form instead of \-on \, with slight support from the papyri , but in the LXX and the Boeotian dialect , Robertson , _Grammar_ , pp . 335f .) in the margin with \parelabete \ (ye received ) in the text . There are five different readings of the verb here , the others being \parelabon , parelabe , elabosan \.
