2Thessalonians:3:6-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now we charge you ,
brethren ,
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ ,
that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly ,
and not after the tradition which they received of us .
*
For ye yourselves know how ye ought to imitate us ;
for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you ,
*
neither did we eat any man
s bread for nought ,
but were working with labor and travail night and day ,
that we might not be burdensome to any of you .
*
Not because we have not authority ,
but to make ourselves an example to you ,
that ye should imitate us .
*
For also when we were with you ,
this we commanded you :
If any one will not work ,
neither let him eat .
*
For we hear of some who walk among you disorderly ,
working not at all ,
but are busybodies .
*
Now such we charge and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ ,
that with quietness they work ,
and eat their own bread .
*
But ye ,
brethren ,
be not weary in well
doing .
*
And if any one obey not our word by this epistle ,
mark that man ;
and keep no company with him ,
that he may be shamed ;
*
yet count him not as an enemy ,
but admonish him as a brother .
