* But we command you , brethren , in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ , that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us . * For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us , for we were not disorderly among you ; * nor did we eat anyone 's bread free of charge , but worked with labor and toil night and day , that we might not be a burden to any of you , * not because we do not have authority , but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us . * For even when we were with you , we commanded you this : If anyone will not work , neither shall he eat . * For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner , not working at all , but are busybodies . * Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread . * But as for you , brethren , do not grow weary in doing good . * And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle , note that person and do not keep company with him , that he may be ashamed . * Yet do not count him as an enemy , but admonish him as a brother .
