2 Thessalonians 3:8-11
8nor did we 1eat 2anyone’s bread 3without paying for it, but with 4labor and hardship we kept 5working night and day so that we would not be a burden to any of you;
9not because we do not have 6the right to this, but in order to offer ourselves 7as a role model for you, so that you would 8follow our example.
10For even 9when we were with you, we used to give you this order: 10if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.
11For we hear that some among you are 11leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like 12busybodies.
