Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.

Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous {man}, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;

And what cause soever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the LORD, and {so} wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass.
