Chapter XIII.
Of his saying: “We have heard that some among you
walk disorderly.”
Then after all this
rigour of gospel severity, he now lays bare the reason why he put
forward all these matters. “For we have heard that some among you
walk disorderly, working not at all, but curiously meddling.” He
is nowhere satisfied to speak of those who will not give themselves up
to work, as if they were victims of but a single malady. For in his
first Epistle977
he speaks of
them as “disorderly,” and not walking according to the
traditions which they had received from him: and he also asserts that
they were restless, and ate their bread for nought. Again he says here,
“We have heard that there are some among you who walk
disorderly.” And at once he subjoins a second weakness, which is
the root of this restlessness, and says, “working not at
all;” a third malady as well he adds, which springs from this
last like some shoot: “but curiously
meddling.”E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
