² Now I praise you that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even as I delivered them to you.

¹⁵ So then, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye were taught, whether by word, or by epistle of ours.

¹⁷ For this cause have I sent unto you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who shall put you in remembrance of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every church.

⁶ Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which they received of us.

² by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain.

²² What, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you? In this I praise you not.

¹⁷ But in giving you this charge, I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better but for the worse.

¹ Finally then, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as ye received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, even as ye do walk, --that ye abound more and more.

² For ye know what charge we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

⁶ But when Timothy came even now unto us from you, and brought us glad tidings of your faith and love, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, longing to see us, even as we also `to see' you;

¹⁷ Only, as the Lord hath distributed to each man, as God hath called each, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all the churches.

⁶ And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

²⁸ Her children rise up, and call her blessed; Her husband `also', and he praiseth her, `saying':

²⁹ Many daughters have done worthily, But thou excellest them all.

³⁰ Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; `But' a woman that feareth Jehovah, she shall be praised.

³¹ Give her of the fruit of her hands; And let her works praise her in the gates.
