2Th 3:14-15 | MHM | STEP | v. 14–15 : Paul continues, If any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother (2 Thessalonians 3:14-15 ). If someone refuses to listen to these instructions, the church should avoid close friendship with him so that he feels ashamed and will change. However, they should not treat him as an enemy but should gently correct him, remembering that he is still part of God’s family.
