2 Thessalonians 3: taktos, in order

Some people in Thessalonian church stopped working. Perhaps they were waiting Jesus return. A soldier must be taktos, in his position, in order. Paul uses this military term to command the lazy people that as soldiers, they must come back to their position so that they defend themselves together. When someone stops working, he leaves the church more vulnerable. Paul says how to deal with them: to ostracize them in order that they repent and come back to their ranks.
Paul writes:

6-9 Our orders—backed up by the Master, Jesus—are to refuse to have anything to do with those among you who are lazy and refuse to work the way we taught you. Don’t permit them to freeload on the rest. We showed you how to pull your weight when we were with you, so get on with it. We didn’t sit around on our hands expecting others to take care of us. In fact, we worked our fingers to the bone, up half the night moonlighting so you wouldn’t be burdened with taking care of us. And it wasn’t because we didn’t have a right to your support; we did. We simply wanted to provide an example of diligence, hoping it would prove contagious.
