riversident - 2Thessalonians:3:6-15

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:6 @ We charge you, brethren, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to stand aloof from every brother who is living in a disorderly way and not according to the teaching that you received from us.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:7 @ For you yourselves know that you should imitate us, for we were not disorderly when among you,

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:8 @ nor did we eat bread with any one without paying, but with labor and toil night and day we worked in order not to burden any one of you.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:9 @ Not that we have not the authority, but in order to give you ourselves as an example for you to imitate.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:10 @ For when we were with you we gave you this command, "If any one will not work, neither is he to eat."

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:11 @ For we hear that some among you are leading disorderly lives, busy about nothing and yet busybodies.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:12 @ Such we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and eat their own bread.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:13 @ But you, brethren, must not become discouraged in doing well.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:14 @ If any one does not obey our words in this letter, mark that man and do not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.

riversident@2Thessalonians:3:15 @ Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.
