And they wrote letters by them as follows; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting to the believers which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:
But now I have written to you not to keep company, if anyone that is called a brother is a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a scoffer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one not even to eat.
Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother that walks disorderly, and not according to the tradition which he received from us.
Therefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he does, babbling against us with malicious words: and not content with this, neither does he himself receive the brethren, and forbids those who would, and casts them out of the church.
