We are to keep on keeping on. We are minding God's business. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. Ministers should not let Brethren despise us because of age or relationship.
Ministers are to stand firm and reprove and rebuke sin with all authority.
But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person. And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. This witness is true. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
