Blessings folk!

Paul has more to say about the person that might not want to follow the instructions in this letter.

He told the people to “not associate” with said person, but wait!
There is more.

2 Th 3:14-15

If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter,
take special note of that person so as not to associate with him,
so that he will be put to shame.

And yet do not regard that person as an enemy,
but admonish that one as a brother or sister.

We are to take note of those who refuse the Word of the Lord.
Our association with such folk will be distant.
But…
We are not to regard that person as an enemy.
No.
Rather, we are to admonish them as a brother/sister.

This fellow believer is to be handled in love.
We admonish in love.
We “take special note” in love.
We speak the truth in love…

Eph 4:15
but speaking the truth in love,
we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, that is, Christ,

Love is manifested in speaking truth.
We speak truth in love.

We have a responsibility One to Another.
