Now we conjure you, brethren, that with respect to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our being assembled with him,

that we did not eat any man's bread for nothing: but with toil and fatigue work'd night and day to avoid being chargeable to any of you:

now being inform'd, that there are among you people of an irregular conduct, who neglect their own business, and busy themselves with the affairs of others:

I Paul salute you, this salutation being my own hand writing, which is the distinguishing mark of all my letters, so I write.
