2 Thessalonians 3:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ May the Lord lead your hearts to express God’s love and Christ’s endurance.

Discipline for the undisciplined

⁶ Brothers and sisters, we command you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to stay away from every brother or sister who lives an undisciplined life that is not in line with the traditions that you received from us. ⁷ You yourselves know how you need to imitate us because we were not undisciplined when we were with you.
