For you know yourselves how you must imitate us, because we did not behave without discipline among you,

For the hidden power of lawlessness is already at work. However, the one who holds him back will do so until he is taken out of the way,

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.”
