in flaming fire, to take vengeance on those who know not God, and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ;

that you be not hastily shaken from the persuasion of your mind, nor be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by report, nor by letter as written by us, as though the day of the Lord is at hand.

Let no one deceive you by any means; for that day will not come, unless the apostasy come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition,

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

and with all the delusion of unrighteousness in those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, in order that they might be saved.

that all may be condemned who believe not the truth, but have pleasure in unrighteousness.

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

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother that walks disorderly, and not according to the tradition which he received from us.

For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us: for we did not behave in a disorderly manner among you,

nor did we eat any one's bread for nothing: but worked with labor and toil, night and day, that we might not burden any one of you;

this we did, not because we have not authority, but that we might give ourselves to you as an example, in order that you might imitate us.

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

And you, brethren, should not be weary in well-doing.

And if any one obey not our word by this letter, note that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed;

and yet do not regard him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
