Notice the man of integrity and watch the upright— for the man of shalom has a future.
Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, to keep your eye on those who are causing divisions and stumbling blocks, contrary to the teaching that you learned. Turn away from them.
Give no offense either to Jewish or Greek people or to God’s community—
What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—put these things into practice, and the God of shalom will be with you.
You also became imitators of us and of the Lord, having accepted the message in much tribulation, with the joy of the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
If anyone does not obey our message in this letter, take special note of him and do not associate with him, so that he may be put to shame.
For you yourselves know how you ought to imitate us, for we did not behave inappropriately among you.
It wasn’t that we had no right, but rather to offer ourselves as an example for you to imitate.
Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but become an example of the faithful—in speech, in conduct, in love, in faithfulness, and in purity.
Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith.
Don’t lord it over those apportioned to you, but become examples to the flock.
