with his mighty angels, in flaming fire, taking vengeance on those who know not God, and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

we beseech you, brethren, that ye be not soon moved from your steadiness of mind, or troubled, neither by Spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as from us, that the day of Christ is at hand.

Let not any one deceive you by any means; for it shall not come till there come an apostasy first, and the man of sin be revealed,

Do ye not remember, that when I was with you, I told you these things?

and wonders, and with all iniquitous fraud, among those that shall perish; because they received not the love of the truth, by which they might be saved.

that they may all be condemned, who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in iniquity.

and that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for all have not faith.

Now we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother who walketh disorderly, and not according to the instruction which he received from us.

For ye know how ye ought to imitate us: for we were not disorderly among you;

neither did we eat any one's bread for nothing; but with labor and toil, working night and day, that we might not be burthensome to any of you.

Not that we have not power, but that we might give ourselves as an example to you to imitate us.

For when we were with you, we gave you this charge, if any will not work, neither let him eat.

But be not you, my brethren, discouraged from well-doing. And if any obey not our order,

by this epistle, mark such a one, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed.

However do not look upon him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
