in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

And to whom you forgive anything, I also [forgive]; for if indeed I have forgiven anything, [the] one whom I have forgiven, [I have done so] for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

And whatever you may do in word or deed, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Finally then, brothers, we request of you and exhort [you] in the Lord Jesus, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you should abound more.

I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing according to partiality.

I charge you before God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate,

that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is going to judge the living and the dead in accordance with His appearing and His kingdom:

Now if anyone does not obey our word in this letter, take note of him, and do not associate with him, that he may be ashamed.

Yet do not consider him as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother.

But if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the assembly. But if he refuses even to hear the assembly, let him be to you as a heathen and a tax collector.

Now I urge you, brothers, to look out for those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

But now I write to you not to associate with anyone named a brother, who is a fornicator, or covetous person, or an idolater, or abusive person, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a person.

But those who are outside God will judge. Therefore "put away from yourselves the evil person."

constant wranglings of men of corrupt minds and having been deprived of the truth, supposing that godliness is a means of profit. Withdraw from such [people].

having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from these people turn away!

looking diligently lest anyone fall from the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness growing up cause trouble, and through this many be defiled;

lest there be any fornicator or profane [person] like Esau, who in exchange for one meal gave up his birthright.

On account of this, if I come, I will call to mind his works which he does, slandering us with evil words. And not being content with that, he does not receive the brothers, and hinders those who desire to, casting them out of the church.

Beloved, do not imitate the evil, but the good. He who does good is of God; he who does evil has not seen God.

For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you;

For we hear [that] some are walking among you in a disorderly way, not working at all, but being busybodies.

and that you aspire to be quiet, and to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, just as we commanded you,

Now we exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the discouraged, be supportive of the weak, be patient toward all.

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat!

Now if anyone does not obey our word in this letter, take note of him, and do not associate with him, that he may be ashamed.

So then, brothers, stand fast and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our letter.
