¹⁴ And if anyone does not obey our word in this ^[a]epistle, note that person and ^(A)do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed.

¹¹ But now I have written to you not to keep company ^(A)with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—^(B)not even to eat with such a person.

^10 (A)Reject a divisive man after the first and second ^[a]admonition,

Warning Against Idleness

⁶ But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^(A)that you withdraw ^(B)from every brother who walks ^(C)disorderly and not according to the tradition which ^[a]he received from us.

⁶¹ Then ^(A)you will remember your ways and be ashamed, when you receive your older and your younger sisters; for I will give them to you for ^(B)daughters, ^(C)but not because of My covenant with you. ^62 (D)And I will establish My covenant with you. Then you shall know that I am the Lord, ⁶³ that you may ^(E)remember and be ashamed, ^(F)and never open your mouth anymore because of your shame, when I provide you an atonement for all you have done,” says the Lord God.’ ”

^17 (A)Obey those who ^[a]rule over you, and be submissive, for ^(B)they watch out for your souls, as those who must give account. Let them do so with joy and not with grief, for that would be unprofitable for you.

^21 (A)Having confidence in your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say.

^8 (A)Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, ^(B)who^[a] has also given us His Holy Spirit.
