E. Reprimand. 3:11-15
V.11 m) Concerned about their Walk and Work -
I. Walking the Wrong Way by not Working. 1.Tim.5:8
II. Believers without work have the tendency to become gossipers and to involve themselves in matters not of their concern.
Prov.18:9; 1.Thess.4:11; 1.Peter 4:15
III. If believers Neglect their own business, they can begin to Narrow in on others business.
V.12 n) Commanded to quietly Work -
Paul Exhorts the idle to:
I. Work right - In quietness. (Less noise and more work)
II. Eat right - Own bread. (No Begging but Backing their own Bread)
V.13 o) Cautious in growing Weary -
I. If we Wait for the Saviour, Work in the Secular and do Well to the Saints, then by remembering “ what we sow we will also reap”
we will not grow Weary but become more Watchful in Watering our seeds. Gal.6:9-10
II. As they rejected the idle bread, they should not forget doing good to the poor, weak and old. V.14 p) Conduct toward the rejecters of these Words -
I. Identification of the unrepentant - They rebel against these words
II. Inspection of the unrepentant - Note him.
III. Isolation from the unrepentant - Do not keep company with him.
Reasons to not keep company with the idle believer:
A. He will loan and not pay back.
B. He will beg of his own company.
IV. Internal emotion of the unrepentant after church discipline - Shame.
Shame is the voice of conscience and when influenced by the Holy Spirit it leads to repentance.
V.15 q) Count him not as Wicked -
I. Esteem him not as an enemy.
II. Exhort him as a brother.
III. The purpose of all disciplinary acts of the church should be Repentance that leads to Restoration, it should never be to Reject.
