2 Thessalonians 3:6
Cautions to the DisorderlyIn this section, Paul addresses some problems in the Thessalonian church. Even strong Christian communities can have members who are not living as they should. Paul gives commands to correct these issues and teaches the church how to deal with those who are idle or causing trouble. His instructions are important for all Christians, reminding us to live in a way that honors Jesus and does good to others.v. 6: Paul says, We command you, brethren, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother that walks disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us (2 Thessalonians 3:6 a). He warns that some believers are not living according to the teachings they received. Christians are expected to live according to the gospel, and those who do not are called disorderly. Paul tells the church to keep away from such people to help them realize their mistake.
