2 Thessalonians 3:14

Fellowship and the churchObedienceShame

12 We command and urge such people by our Lord Jesus Christ to begin working quietly to earn their own living.

13 But as for you, brothers, do not grow weary in well-doing.

Take note of anyone who does not obey the instructions we have given in this letter. Do not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.

15 Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.

16 Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
