5:13 ^a Too seldom do those who are fully supported by the church invest their lives in remarkable piety (cp. 2:9-10 ^b; 5:10 ^c). Abusing the church’s support does not help them or the Good News (cp. 5:14 ^d).

• talking about things they shouldn’t: The wording suggests involvement in the false teaching (5:15 ^e; cp. 2 Thes 3:11-13 ^f; Titus 1:11 ^g).
