2 Thessalonians 3 KJV: Work and Order: Maintaining the Discipline of the Church
2 Thessalonians 3 articulates the necessity of a disciplined, working lifestyle, warning against those who walk 'disorderly' by refusing to work. It sets the example of Paul’s own labor, where he worked day and night to not be a burden to others. The chapter concludes with the command to not grow weary in well-doing and provides a strategy for loving discipline within the community.
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
