3:6Now 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.

3:7For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;

3:8Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:

3:9Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
