We command and exhort (paraggellomen kai parakaloumen). Paul asserts his authority as an apostle and pleads as a man and minister.

That with quietness they work, and eat their own bread (hina meta hēsuchias ergazomenoi ton heautōn arton esthiōsin). Substance of the command and exhortation by hina and the present subjunctive esthiōsin. Literally, that working with quietness they keep on eating their own bread. The precise opposite of their conduct in 2Th 3:11.
