14IfG1487 anyoneG5100 does not obeyG5219 our 28instructionG3056 29 30in thisG3588 letterG1992, takeG4593 specialG4593 noteG4593 of that personG3778 so as 31not to associateG4874 with him, soG2443 thatG2443 he will be 32putG1788 toG1788 shameG1788. 15And yet 33do not regardG2233 that person as an enemyG2190, but 34 35admonishG3560 that one as a 36brotherG80 or sister.
