2 Thessalonians 3:14-15

Take special note of anyone who does not obey our instruction in this letter. Do not associate with them, in order that they may feel ashamed. Yet do not regard them as an enemy, but warn them as you would a fellow believer.

Do not associate with them

2 Thessalonians 3:6  In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching you received from us. 

Romans 16:17  I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.

 

in order that they may feel ashamed 

1 Corinthians 4:14  I am writing this not to shame you but to warn you as my dear children.

1 Corinthians 6:5-6  I say this to shame you. Is it possible that there is nobody among you wise enough to judge a dispute among believers? But instead, one brother takes another to court--and this in front of unbelievers!

1 Corinthians 15:33-34  Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character." (from the Greek poet Menander) Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God--I say this to your shame.

Yet do not regard them as an enemy, but warn them as you would a fellow believer 

Galatians 6:1  Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.

1 Thessalonians 5:14-15  And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each and for everyone else.

Philemon 15-16  Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back forever--no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a fellow man and as a brother in the Lord.
