and we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that the things that we command you ye both do and will do;

for yourselves have known how it behoveth you to imitate us, because we did not act disorderly among you;

not because we have not authority, but that ourselves a pattern we might give to you, to imitate us;

and if any one do not obey our word through the letter, this one note ye, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed,
