3But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one.
4We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things which we command.
5May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.
6Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks in rebellion, and not after the tradition which they received from us.
7For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we didn`t behave ourselves rebelliously among you,
8neither did we eat bread for nothing from any man`s hand, but in labor and travail, working night and day, that we might not burden any of you;
9not because we don`t have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us.
