Commentary on 2 Thessalonians 3:14

Theological / Devotional

Obey not our word. Paul desired the church to realize that the epistle was authoritative. It was the inspired word of God, written in the name of the Lord. It required obedience. The members were to help to support its instructions.

Note. Gr. sēmeioō, “to mark,” from sēmeion, “a sign,” “a mark,” “a token.”

Have no company. Such deliberate ostracism on the part of loyal Christians could hardly fail to have a remedial effect. The delinquents would more readily see themselves as others saw them, and be ashamed. Being ashamed of their wayward conduct, they would be led to repentance, and be saved.
