3and stedfast is the Lord, who shall establish you, and shall guard [you] from the evil;
4and we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that the things that we command you ye both do and will do;
5and the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to the endurance of the Christ.
6And we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother disorderly walking, and not after the deliverance that ye received from us,
7for yourselves have known how it behoveth [you] to imitate us, because we did not act disorderly among you;
8nor for nought did we eat bread of any one, but in labour and in travail, night and day working, not to be chargeable to any of you;
9not because we have not authority, but that ourselves a pattern we might give to you, to imitate us;
