For we hear of some who walk among you in rebellion, who don't work at all, but are busybodies.
      1. Whose laws they are: they are commands of the apostles of our Lord, given in the name of their Lord and ours, that is, the commands of our Lord himself. We command you, brethren, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,2 Thessalonians 3:6; 2 Thessalonians 3:6. Again, We command and exhort you by our Lord Jesus Christ,2 Thessalonians 3:12; 2 Thessalonians 3:12. The apostle uses words of authority and entreaty: and, where disorders are to be rectified or prevented, there is need of both. The authority of Christ should awe our minds to obedience, and his grace and goodness should allure us.
