2 Thessalonians 3:15

Warning Against Lazy, Irresponsible Behavior

¹⁴ Now if anyone [in the church] does not obey what we say in this letter, take special note of that person and do not associate with him, so that he will be ashamed and repent. ¹⁵ Do not regard him as an enemy, but keep admonishing him as a [believing] brother. ¹⁶ Now may the Lord of peace Himself grant you His peace at all times and in every way [that peace and spiritual well-being that comes to those who walk with Him, regardless of life’s circumstances]. The Lord be with you all.

For still my prayer is against their wicked deeds.
