Context
Request for Prayer
3:1 Finally , pray for us , brothers and sisters , that the Lord’s message may spread quickly and be honored as in fact it was among you ,
3:2 and that we may be delivered from perverse and evil people . For not all have faith .
3:3 But the Lord is faithful , and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one .
3:4 And we are confident about you in the Lord that you are both doing – and will do – what we are commanding .
3:5 Now may the Lord direct your hearts toward the love of God and the endurance of Christ .
Response to the Undisciplined
3:6 But we command you , brothers and sisters , in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ , to keep away from any brother who lives an undisciplined life and not according to the tradition they received from us .
3:7 For you know yourselves how you must imitate us , because we did not behave without discipline among you ,
3:8 and we did not eat anyone’s food without paying . Instead , in toil and drudgery we worked night and day in order not to burden any of you .
