5. Now may the Lord direct your hearts toward the love of God and the endurance of Christ.
6. But we command you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who lives an undisciplined life and not according to the tradition they received from us.
7. For you know yourselves how you must imitate us, because we did not behave without discipline among you,
8. and we did not eat anyone’s food without paying. Instead, in toil and drudgery we worked night and day in order not to burden any of you.
