14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish the ^vidle,¹ encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be ^wpatient with them all.

Warning Against Idleness

6 Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you ^bkeep away from any brother who is walking in ^cidleness and not in accord with the ^dtradition that you received from us.

14 If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of that person, and have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 ^mDo not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.
