My friends, I beg you to watch out for anyone who causes trouble and divides the church by refusing to do what all of you were taught. Stay away from them!
Be on your guard against any followers who refuse to obey what we have written in this letter. Put them to shame by not having anything to do with them.
Don't let anyone make fun of you, just because you are young. Set an example for other followers by what you say and do, as well as by your love, faith, and purity.
