4. And we have confidence concerning you in the Lord, that the things which we command, you both do, and will do.
5. And the Lord direct your hearts, in the charity of God, and the patience of Christ.
6. And we charge you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother walking disorderly, and not according to the tradition which they have received of us.
7. For yourselves know how you ought to imitate us: for we were not disorderly among you;
8. Neither did we eat any man's bread for nothing, but in labour and in toil we worked night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you.
9. Not as if we had not power: but that we might give ourselves a pattern unto you, to imitate us.
