2 THESSALONIANS 3:6 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 2
“Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.”
Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us — the command (parangellō) is issued 'in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ' (en onomati kyriou Iēsou Christou), carrying Christological authority. The 'idle' (ataktos) brother is to be ostracized (stello, to avoid). Apostolic tradition is the norm.
