II Thessalonians 3:6 Now we command you. He has expressed a belief that they will readily obey his commands (II Thessalonians 3:4). He now gives one. Brethren. The command is not directed to priest or presbyter, but to the whole church. Compare I Corinthians 5:4. Withdraw yourselves. Decline to receive as a brother longer. Exclude from fellowship. Every brother that walketh disorderly. This command applies to other disorderly walking also, but has a direct reference here to those who refused to work. Not after the tradition which he received of us. The instructions received from us.
