consume with the spirit of his mouth,

slay with the breath of His mouth

Neither did we eat any man’s bread for
nought; but wrought with labour
and travail night
and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
nor did we eat
anyone’s food without paying for it. Instead, in labor
and toil, we worked night
and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you.
For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are
busybodies.
Now them that are such we command
and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work,
and eat their own bread.
We command
and urge such people by our Lord Jesus Christ to begin working quietly to
earn their own living.

Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless
and disobedient, for the ungodly
and for sinners, for unholy
and profane, for murderers of fathers
and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

snare of the devil.
Furthermore, he must have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace
and into the
snare of the devil.
