2Thessalonians:3:6-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now we enjoin you ,
brethren ,
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
that ye withdraw from every brother walking disorderly and not according to the instruction which he received from us .
*
For ye know yourselves how ye ought to imitate us ,
because we have not walked disorderly among you ;
*
nor have we eaten bread from any one without cost ;
but in toil and hardship working night and day not to be chargeable to any one of you :
*
not that we have not the right ,
but that we might give ourselves as an example to you ,
in order to your imitating us .
*
For also when we were with you we enjoined you this ,
that if any man does not like to work ,
neither let him eat .
*
For we hear that [
there are ]
some walking among you disorderly ,
not working at all ,
but busybodies .
*
Now such we enjoin and exhort in [
the ]
Lord Jesus Christ ,
that working quietly they eat their own bread .
*
But ye ,
brethren ,
do not faint in well-doing .
*
But if any one obey not our word by the letter ,
mark that man ,
and do not keep company with him ,
that he may be ashamed of himself ;
*
and do not esteem him as an enemy ,
but admonish [
him ]
as a brother .
