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 if anyone does not obey our message through this letter, take note of him and do not associate closely with him, so that he may be ashamed.

Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not arrive until the rebellion comes and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction.
