2 Thessalonians 3:10-12

10Even when we were there with you, we told you this rule: ‘If anyone refuses to work, you should not give food to him.’

11We say this because someone has told us news about you. They have told us that some people among you are living in a lazy way. Those people do not work at their own jobs. Instead, they cause trouble to other people who are working.

12We have something to say to people who are lazy like that. We warn them with the authority that the Lord Jesus Christ gives to us. They must stop causing trouble. They must work properly, so that they get their own food to eat.
