Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Thessalonians 3:6

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which they received of us.See under 2 Thessalonians 3:4 regarding "we command."In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ ... This is an appeal by the apostle to the authority of his commission and office as an apostle of Christ. It should be noted that he did not fail to mention "in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ," thus making it... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Thessalonians 3:6

2 Thessalonians 3:6.— St. Paul, 1Th 4:11-12 had ordered the idle persons among them to work and maintain themselves in a creditable manner. As his directions had not been complied with, but, instead of reforming, they were rather grown worse, he here repeats what he had there said; rebuking with more severity such idle and officious persons as were a scandal to Christianity, and troublesome in civil society. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 2 Thessalonians 3:6

6. we command you—Hereby he puts to a particular test their obedience in general to his commands, which obedience he had recognized in :-. withdraw—literally, "to furl the sails"; as we say, to steer clear of (compare 2 Thessalonians 3:14).

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Thessalonians 3:6

Paul introduced the words that follow to help the readers realize that obedience was essential. This was a command given with the full authority of the Lord Jesus Christ. The faithful majority in the church was to separate, probably individually and socially, from the unruly to alert the offenders to the fact that their behavior was not acceptable. The desired result was that they would repent. Paul had earlier warned those who were idle (1 Thessalonians 5:14), but evidently they had not... read more

B. Church discipline 3:6-15The false teaching that had entered the church had produced some inappropriate behavior in some. Paul wrote what to do about this situation to guide the Thessalonians in bringing their behavior, as well as their belief, back into conformity with God’s will."As important as it is to identify the cause and nature of the problem behavior addressed in 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15, we should not ignore the fact that our passage both begins (2 Thessalonians 3:6) and ends (2... read more
