Context of 2 Thessalonians 3:14

12Now we command and exhort such persons in the Lord Jesus Christ to work peacefully and eat their own bread. 13But as for you, brothers and sisters, do not grow weary of doing good. 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. 15And yet do not regard that person as an enemy, but admonish that one as a brother or sister. 16Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance. The Lord be with you all!

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 14If any man obey not - They had disobeyed his word in the first epistle, and the Church still continued to bear with them; now he tells the Church, if they still continue to disregard what is said to them, and particularly his word by this second epistle, they are to mark them as being totally incorrigible, and have no fellowship with them.
