If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of that person, and have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed. Do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a brother.
Paul is addressing our relationship with those who deliberately flaunt the Word of God. He is not recommending shunning for then we could not effectively warn him as a brother. We are to do everything in our power, utilizing the power of prayer and the evidence of a life lived in obedience, to lead our brother into a life of conformity to the Scriptures.
