Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be glorified, even as also with you, 1Th 5:25Col 4:31Co 16:9Eph 6:19-20Act 19:201Th 1:8Act 12:241Th 2:13 and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men; for not all have faith. 2Co 4:3-4Rom 15:31Deu 32:202Co 1:8-10Luk 18:8Rom 10:16Act 13:45Act 28:24 But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. 2Ti 4:181Th 5:241Co 10:13Psa 121:71Co 1:9Jhn 17:15Mat 6:13Jud 1:24 We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you both do and will do the things we command.

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks in rebellion and not after the tradition which they received from us. 2Th 3:10-112Th 3:7Col 3:17Rom 16:171Th 5:141Th 4:12Th 2:152Ti 3:5 For you know how you ought to imitate us. For we didn’t behave ourselves rebelliously among you, 2Th 3:62Th 3:91Co 4:161Co 11:11Th 1:6-7Php 3:17Tit 2:71Ti 4:12 neither did we eat bread from anyone’s hand without paying for it, but in labor and travail worked night and day, that we might not burden any of you. Mat 6:111Th 2:9Act 18:3Eph 4:281Co 4:121Th 4:112Th 3:12Pro 31:27 This was not because we don’t have the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, that you should imitate us. 2Th 3:71Co 9:4-141Th 2:6Gal 6:6Jhn 13:15Mat 10:101Pe 2:21 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: “If anyone is not willing to work, don’t let him eat.” Gen 3:191Th 4:11Pro 13:4Pro 20:4Pro 21:25Pro 24:30-341Th 3:4Jhn 16:4 For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don’t work at all, but are busybodies. 1Ti 5:131Th 4:112Th 3:61Pe 4:15 Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with quietness and eat their own bread. Eph 4:281Th 4:112Th 3:8Ecc 4:6Luk 11:3Pro 17:11Th 4:1Gen 49:14-15
But you, brothers, don’t be weary in doing what is right. Gal 6:9-10Heb 12:32Co 4:12Co 4:16Isa 40:29-31Luk 18:11Th 4:1Heb 12:5 If any man doesn’t obey our word in this letter, note that man and have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.
