But if any one obey not our word by the letter, mark that man, and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed of himself; 15and do not esteem him as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother. 16But the Lord of peace himself give you peace continually in every way. The Lord [be] with you all.
