Nor did we seek to win honour from men, whether from you or from others, although, as Apostles of Christ, we might have burdened you with our support.

So that none of you should be shaken by the troubles through which you are passing. You yourselves know that we are destined to meet with such things.

None of you over-reaching or taking advantage of his Brother in such matters. 'The Lord takes vengeance' upon all who do such things, as we have already warned you and solemnly declared.

Hold them in the very greatest esteem and affection for the sake of their work. Live at peace with one another.
