And we are confident about you in the Lord that you are both doing – and will do – what we are commanding.

Now such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and so provide their own food to eat.

For even when we were with you, we used to give you this command: “If anyone is not willing to work, neither should he eat.”

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.
