And when this Letter has been read among you, let it be read also in the Church of the Laodiceans, and you in turn must read the one I am sending to Laodicea.
For I would have you know in how severe a struggle I am engaged on behalf of you and the brethren in Laodicea and of all who have not known me personally,
and if any one refuses to obey these our written instructions, mark that man and hold no communication with him–so that he may be made to feel ashamed.
