Reading for July 22nd

 Read 2 Thessalonians 3.1-15. In 3.1-15: Commands and exhortations. two sets of commands and encouragements to virtue (vv. 1-4 and 6-15) surround a prayer (v. 5).  In verse 1; Finally, the last section of the letter. In verses 6-15: Commands and exhortations to the entire community (vv. 6-10) and to the offending figures in the congregation (vv. 11-12) precede a command on how to deal with disobedient (vv. 13-15). In verse 6: In idleness could also mean "in disorder lines." Apparently expecting the lord to r e turn very soon., some in the congregation stopped working. Comments or Questions..
